Abstract: | The subject of the article is Andrzej Busza’s Kafkaesque story, about Święto szpitalne. It describes the conflict of the individual with an anonymous sys-tem, the absurdity of existence, the sense of menace and uncertainty, as well as a situation which disturbs the established order and everyday monotony. The protagonist and narrator is Andrzej Busza, a conscientious male nurse, who becomes sick and tired of his occupation and increasingly critical of the authoritarian hospital system. Like Susan Sontag, Busza seems to treat illness as a polysemous metaphor. Incarcerated in an inhumane system and surrounded by callous indifference to suffering, the protagonist rebels hysteri-cally and pointlessly. Nęcka relates the story to some of the pervasive themes of Busza’s writing: pessimism, sense of alienation, inability to cope with inner division. |
