Summary/Abstract: This article is based – on a reading of Erwin Kruk’s Rondo, Kronika z Mazur, Spadek. Zapiski mazurskie 2007–2008 (Roundabout: A Masurian chronicle; Legacy. Masurian notes, 2007–2008). It explores the evolution of the writer’s autobiographical attitude, which became particularly clear after 1989 and it inscribed itself in the trend of “re-self-presentations”. Another aim of this study is to illustrate the formal and artistic changes in the way of using autobiographical materials.
