Summary/Abstract: The sketch analyzes Zośka Papużanka’s “No End”, in which the writer reaches for a fairly common concept, telling a family story spread over three generations connected by complicated relationships. Trying to escape the stereotypical approach to the subject of death, she gives a story about a past full of secrets that cannot be reconstructed, family dysfunction, realized and abandoned opportunities, a piercing void and the inability to establish intergenerational understanding.
