Summary/Abstract: “Black Paris” is an unknown novel by Jan Brzękowski (composed jointly with Jolanta Fuchsówna). The piece complements the state of research about the creativity of one of the leading representatives of the Cracow “Vanguard,” and also discloses one of the episodes of the Cracow “Vanguard” complex, though not entirely researched connections, with popular literature and culture. It also argues that though the literary formation accepted the popular novel, at the same time they unwillingly welcomed poetry of such character. The former was sometimes a source of inspiration and profit, and often also a means of communicating ideological matters, while the latter appeared only occasionally on the margins of their creativity.
