Summary/Abstract: It is an assessment of Weronika Szulik’s book “Konstelacje Romana Jaworskiego. Witkacy, Irzykowski, Brzozowski (Roman Jaworski’s Constellations. Witkacy, Irzykowski, Brzozowski,” Warsaw 2024). The reviewer offers a deep insight into the concept of constellation proposed in the book and inspired by theories formulated by Theodor W. Adorno and by Ryszard Nycz. The discussion of most vital issues of the study allows for answering the following questions: to what extent the method employed by Szulik permits Roman Jaworski’s new reading the output of “Young Poland’s dandy,” and what “constellational thinking” reorientates within the framework of a classic monograph devoted to one author.
