Z innej beczki. O „Utopku” Leszka Libery
For Something Completely Different. About „Utopek” by Leszek Libera

Summary/Abstract: In the article discussing Leszek Libera’s novel, the author proves that, firstly, the writer’s debut deserves greater attention from researchers and readers, and secondly, it shows that the scandalous, dirty, immersed in the lowliness of bodily troubles Utopek can be read in the context of a subtle self-referential game, a story about a story that is expressed in criticism of fundamental ideas, stereotypes, as well as upside-down narratives about ethnic animosities in Silesia. Above all, a complete, artistic story – all the more interesting because it was written in the spirit of free-thinking anaidea (shamelessness). It is only a mask behind which hides the essential cultural and therapeutic role of literaturę as a medium that, by generating stories, sublimates the darkest energies and provides a language to express the inexpressible.
