The author discusses the work by Przemysław Rojek devoted to the identity narration in the post-war poetry by Aleksander Wat. He describes this interpretative project, highlighting a combination of researcher’s historio-literary and theoretical knowledge who is interested in modern subjectivity of the textual Wat. Rojek builds in his book a wellevaluated construction of a literary auto-bio/bibliography and finds its traces in works by the author of Ciemne świecidło. Wat was trying to rebel against the fragmentarity of life and existence of a modern individual and create a coherent identity project. The very rebellion resulted in failure and destruction of all more long-lasting identity constructs. The author highly evaluates Rojek’s academic achievements who added something new to a well-developing Watology in recent years.
