Summary/Abstract: The article provides a commentary of the monograph Rabka w literaturze, literaci w Rabce (Rabka 2018) edited on Zofia Budrewicz and Jan Ceklarz mainly in the context of anthropology of place and local microhistory. The author seeks to organize the geopoetic studies concerning Rabka, including affects, locality and material dimension of the place. She also points to the duality of the resort town of Rabka-Zdrój, seeing it as the space for intercultural encounters. Finally, she proposes Rabka’s cultural map and the Polish literary map of resort subculture.
