Summary/Abstract: In the paper dedicated to prof. Jerzy Jarzębski I deal with the transformations in experimental narrative in contemporary prose, especially with ways of using pronouns and gender forms. I concentrate on the interpretation of novels written by Zbigniew Kruszyński, Olga Tokarczuk and Jacek Dukaj, whose shared main feature are the relocations of grammatical forms of the text. Mixed narrative forms (pronouns “we” and “you”, reflexives, transformations of the neuter gender, etc.) open new possibilities of worldview and self-identity.
