«EVERYTHING IS REPEATED ON A SINGLE BLADE OF KNIFE.» ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE OF LOSS IN TADEUSZ NOWAK’S PRZEBUDZENIA

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the prose debut of Tadeusz Nowak; however, the volume Przebudzenia [Awakenings] is interpreted in the context of his later writings. The suggestions concerning the interpretation of the title word point at some notions crucial for understanding Nowak’s prose writing: the feeling of yearning for what has been lost and suffering incurred by the awareness of lack. The shape of a circle plays a significant role in these deliberations, since repetition seems to be the antidote for fading away and dying. Writing – here also understood as a form of repetition – becomes a necessary and continually undertaken attempt to heal the wound caused by the experience of loss.
