LOW VS. HIGH

Grzegorz Wysocki

However, I can’t agree fully with finishing fragments of Uniałowski’s sketches in which the critic suggests that nowadays not „Tygodnik Powszechny” or the newest novel of Paweł Huelle but “Lampa” by Dunin-Wąsowicz and a novel by Jacek Dukaj are factors initiating changes in Polish literary life is a fault of the first ones, which represent high culture.

A COME-BACK OF ONE OF THE BASIC QUESTIONS

MATCH THE DAUGHTER WITH THE DAD…

Agnieszka Sieńkowska

Both father and daughter have some expectations of each other. “The majority of fathers wants their Mary to be a good girl, to have good grades at school, and to avoid an inappropriate company. To remain to be a decent, virtuous person for good. Just pout and lay hands crossed on a lap.” – the authors of the current issue of “Charaktery” (7/2007) write.
