Summary/Abstract: The publication is devoted to autobiographical texts whose writers identified themselves with either ‘good homes’ or ‘bad districts’ of the 20th century Warsaw. It analyses the self-narratives of Jeremi Przybora, Jarosław Abramow-Newerly, Agnieszka Osiecka, Stanisław Grzesiuk, Marek Hłasko, and Andrzej Stasiuk. It emphasises three autobiographical types: personal (recounting the course of life), environmental (presenting the relation with the environment, primarily with the family and/or peers), and topographical (marking the places on the autobiographical map and transferring them to the narrative map).
