Raptularz: miliard mikrokosmosów
Engagement: A Million Microcosmoses

Summary/Abstract: A text devoted to the publication of Juliusz Osterwa’s Kiev Engagement, edited and with an introduction by Ireneusz Guszpit (Jerzy Grotowski Institute, Wrocław 2010). Jarząbek-Wasyl points out the heterogonic nature of the notes, forcing the reader to interact: “Spending time with this book, one has the impression of touching something that, as a concrete fact or positive proof, is forever slipping from one’s grasp.” The author lists various topics of the notes (on staging, studies on poetry and rhythm, a sketch on cinema and theater, and a list of the buffet menu) and quotes his attempts at poetic prose. The reviewer notes that the overriding topic of these notes is loss, death, and the passage of time. Jarząbek-Wasyl also stresses the role that the publication of this diary could play in perception of the history of the Reduta.
