Русская тема в творческих размышлениях Януша Гловацкого

Abstract

The works of the Polish prose writer, playwright, scriptwriter and columnist Janusz Głowacki are characterized by frequent references to Russian literature. This article analyzes works which refer to the artistic activity of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Maxim Gorky. Głowacki’s postmodern achievements, which are imbued with grotesque and irony, are an example of careful, even photographic reflection on present-day Poland, America and Russia.
