Summary/Abstract: The article takes up the question of relationship between cubism and literature. According to the author, an approach analogous to the cubist representation of objects, shown as if simultaneously from various points of view, can be found in literature in an elimination of perspective and time as well as the tendency to represent history and situations without considering the participation of the text’s narrator or main character. Some tendencies of this kind appear in certain surrealistic poems and existentialist novels, while in Polish literature we encounter them in the works of Helena Boguszewska.
