Summary/Abstract: The article is focused on the case study concerning the person biographically experiencing living in two cultures, in that process formed by living and bringing up in two countries, as a result of the migration of parents from the People’s Republic of Poland to the United States at the beginning of the 80-s. The analysis oscillates here between an attempt to write down this narration into the reflectiveness close to the concept of marginal man and the issue of seeking, defining, constructing, and reconstructing the narrator’s identity. The text also aims to provide further insight into the complex issues migrants’ identity.
