Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the diarist projects of André Gide and Witold Gombrowicz. It is not only a commentary on the issues of Gombrowicz’s inspiration raised several times by critics, but also an attempt to read Gide’s pioneer work in the “Gombrowicz” optics, i.e. with special attention to the question of interpersonal relations. In addition, the author analyzes the homosexual discourse of both authors, especially its performative character (because homosexuality concerns both didactics and poetics).
