Summary/Abstract: Zapiski z nocnych dyżurów by Jacek Baczak is devoted to the world of hospices, which is generallyabsent from the world of multiplied presence. Baczak tries to describe it, to express thesuffering of this place through words, slowly passing away, and death. His description cannotrefer to ready-made matrices, schemes or tested and familiar languages. His description is thusconstructed from the simples, the most translucent, ascetic elements. Thanks to this, it becomespoignantly genuine and serving. While restrained in the face of death, it is also moving.
