Summary/Abstract: The paper is concentrated on the autobiography in the writings of Stefan Żółkiewski. Due to the lack of classic autobiography, Sidorowicz decides to analyze archival materials, prefaces and interviews that meet the condition of Lejeune’s autobiographical pact. The analysis focuses, in accordance with the title metaphor, on the kinks visible in these texts. in order to draw attention to the conditions under which a strong self-construction appears. The author tries to show that a constitutive feature of Żółkiewski’s autobiographical writing is its strong involvement in society biographies.
