Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to reflect on the course of the relationship between the subject and the environment in a state of broadly understood crisis in Łukasz Barys’s novel If You Were Cut in Half (2022). The proposed reading strategy is based on the use of tools appropriate for psychoanalysis, hauntology (Derrida) and environmental humanities. The main thematic axis of the work are “spectres” related to the “I’s” experience of literary dependencies in relation to the littered and destroyed biosphere. In the context of spectra co-presences, I will reflect on the status of garbage, remains, remnants, and also on what is non-human, that is, the elements pushed to the margins of everyday life.
