The Pigeon Fell Dumb. A Book for Laughter and Reminiscence by Dr. hab. Dorota Korwin-Piotrowska, a Professor at the Jagiellonian University, is a collection of humorous texts of most varied types: remakes of well-known works (from the Middle Ages to the present day), parodies of academic texts, short poems dedicated to common cold (a whole series), chocolate, or the Cracovian pigeon; prose fragments and absurd dramatic scenes. Most of the pieces have been written in the recent decades for the jubilees of Krakow's Polish philologists and literary scholars from the Jagiellonian University. The title of the collection is a pun on words that alludes to the name of the street where the Faculty of Polish Studies in Krakow is located (ulica Gołębia = Pigeon Street, hence the Pigeon). It is also as an allusion to two books by the Polish masters of satire and pure nonsense: Pegasus Rearing, or a Poetic Panopticum  by Julian Tuwim (1958) and Pegasus Fell Dumb. Nonsense Poetry and Everyday Life: Introduction to a Private Theory of Genres by Stanislaw Barańczak (1995).
