| Abstrakt: |
The plot of the novel Kreator (Creator), from which the published fragment is taken, takes place among the Polish Diaspora in the United States and Canada in the 1980s. In this case, however, the geographical factor is not brought to the foreground. The essence of the narrative of the novel is the clash of the two worlds: the refugees from World War II and the newcomers representing the journalists and writers who were forced to leave Poland during the martial law period in the early 1980s. Both groups, despite the differences in their mentality, drastically divergent political views and distinctive lifestyles, are in fact doomed to coexist. The novel follows a pastiche-grotesque convention, but the clearly outlined characters and events seem to be derived from an autopsy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
