Z krytyki pewnych interpretacji

Abstract

The centre of attention of the author’s review of Balladyny i romanse is a narrative strategy, the main feature of which is avoiding the effect of subordination of any sending authority. Karpowicz, by means of numerous parables, presents a series of opinions on the collapse of the modern culture functioning within the frame of today’s discourse, and, at the same time, introduces the tools allowing for a critical reception of the very points of view to the text. In effect, the novel combines the values of an interesting plot and a philosophical-sociological study, which proves its high quality, an ironically oriented metaprose.
