Summary/Abstract: This article discusses Gombrowicz’s place in Polish and world literature. It seems that “Polish form” facilitated his attaining the rank of a world writer for being an artist of his kind, communicating ideas and values beyond the local. However, the issue of Gombrowicz is that Gombrowiczians quickly reached a barrier and found themselves in crisis already in the beginning phase of Gombrowicz studies in 1976. Their main weakness then is the language they use which seems to be the very language of Gombrowicz himself. And what can be done about it?
