Conversations about the Polish novel

The literary press of each country widely reflects those issues of a literary, literary-critical, socio-cultural and philosophical-ideological nature that most excite a given society at a given time. In order to grasp the more important of them, without stopping at the one-day issues, we must naturally take a broader view of time. This review traces some of the more important problems that have attracted the attention of Polish critics, writers and the Polish cultural community in recent months and have found their expression in the pages of the Polish literary press. Due to the great diversity and variety of the issues, we will limit ourselves here only to those issues that concern fiction and the novel in particular.
