Summary/Abstract: The author of the article asks the emigration literature a perverse question concerning the world that it does not present. He references a Polish book by Juliusz Kornhauser and Adam Zagajewski, famous in early 1970s. He enumerates the peculiar “blanks” in this text, the spheres of the American reality that have not been shown in the emigration literature. The reason why they have been ignored was not always the ongoing propaganda warfare in the ideologically divided world of the era.
