Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to situate the novel Emigracja by Malcolm XD, published in 2019, in the tradition of emigration literature and among the currents of contemporary Polish migration prose about Poles in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The novel continues the satirical and grotesque images of the fate of emigrants shown by Witold Gombrowicz and Sławomir Mrożek. Emigration is polemical towards contemporary migration literature that shows identity dilemmas in a culturally diverse reality, but its form, taken from internet genres, characterizes it.
