Ślady doświadczenia geobiograficznego w twórczości Sławomira Mrożka

Abstract

Literary works by Sławomir Mrożek gain a new perspective when interpreted in the context of The Diary and his autobiography Baltazar. The author of the article refers to the metaphor of trace which conceptualizes the relationship between the writer and a literary text, as it has been proposed by Małgorzata Czermińska. In Mrożek’s works, she discovers the traces of geobiographical experience, which are reflected in his depiction of space. Consequently, the comparative study of literary works and autobiographical texts leads to the conclusion that space metaphor, which expresses Mrożek’s key dilemma – identification, stems from specific geographical experience.
