["Zapylona droga"] by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński. An attempt at genetic criticism

Abstract

The aim of this article is to attempt to analyze and interpret the wartime short story Zapylona droga… by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński from the perspective of genetic criticism. The discussed work exists only in one handwritten draft and has never been published, therefore it is the analysis of the pre-text understood according to the definition of Pierre-Marc de Biasi. Using the genetic criticism method, the process of creating story by Baczyński, who wrote on the spur of the moment, without a detailed plan, has been recreated step by step, as can be seen in the numerous conceptual changes. Only a short note indicates that one plot was planned, and the drawings in the margins and crossed out calculations attest to the deep consideration of the continuation of the plot and attempts to imagine space of the work
