Jan Tomasz Gross is one of the most significant figures in the 21st century Polish culture. His works, The Neighbors predominantly, boldly state the diagnosis of Polish “obsession of innocence.” What is he like? What has affected his life and academic choices? How does he perceive Poland, the rest of the world, and himself, and how is it reflected in the way he talks? This article attempts to construct a “dialogic” portrait of the Polish sociologist in a broader context, focusing
on Aleksandra Pawlicka’s captivating book: …bardzo dawno temu, mniej więcej w zeszły piątek… Jan Tomasz Gross w rozmowie z Aleksandrą Pawlicką [“…long ago, last Friday, more less…” Jan Tomasz Gross in Conversation with Aleksandra Pawlicka].
