The article is a personal reflection upon the themes of the past and the present, prompted by the author’s visceral reaction to a text entitled Babka Druga [The Second Grandma]
by Tamara Bołdak-Janowska. Coming into contact with a single, concise short story is here translated into an essay testifying to an individual experience the author has gone through, an experience of the kind mentioned by Francis Fukuyama in his considerations regarding human identity. Simultaneously, the author utilises in her investigations the poetics of experience, private world, and their literary depictions, observations based on the notion of individual experience moulded by classically understood modernity. Her aim is most of all indicating those (thematic and formal) aspects of the unconventional piece of writing by Bołdak-Janowska that refer to ramifications for one’s experience and personal identity stemming from the process of introducing into (almost pre-modern) social reality rational projects of the said reality’s development (especially including such drastic ones as those related to the Second World War).
