Summary/Abstract: The interview with Paweł Śpiewak touches on the main themes of his work and interests: Polish divisions, the relationships between memory and history, Polish and Jewish tangled identities. The interlocutors attempt to understand human choices and experiences, trying to keep their distance and avoiding one-sided accusations. The book offers an insight into a rebellious, ironic mind that cannot be pigeonholed. The interview starts with the present and adult life of Paweł Śpiewak, gradually turning to the past: the childhood, family home and parents: Polish poets Anna Kamieńska and Jan Śpiewak. Blending biography with intellectual history, the book allows to understand not only the figure of Paweł Śpiewak, but also the fates of his generation and recent history.
