Summary/Abstract: Agata Dąbek reviews the book Byle dalej. Autobiografia mówiona i materiały (trans. Mateusz Borowski, Anna R. Burzyńska, Małgorzata Leyko, Małgorzata Sugiera, Spector Books Leipzig, Instytut Teatralny im. Zbigniewa Raszewskiego, Warszawa 2014), an extended autobiographical tale by Andrzej Wirth. The book, edited by Thomas Irmer, is built around the rules of complex storytelling: it combines a long interview with countless interpolations and fragments of publications, essays and articles written by other authors. The book becomes a polylogue, confronting various points of view. According to Dąbek, it would be difficult to imagine a more faithful image of the professor, founder of the Institute of Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen.
