Magdalena Tulli, Shoah, Last Judgement by Hans Memling, melancholyAbstract
The author examines metaphors related to weight in the oeuvre of Magdalena Tulli, indicating the notion that elucidates and orders what has hitherto defied interpretation in her novels. It is pointed out by the essay’s author, and corroborated by numerous quotations from Tulli, that the Warsaw-based writer often described as a post-modernist weaving multi-thread narrative, in fact creates literature devoted to a single topic – the Shoah. An interesting way of indicating this fact is a painting by Hans Memling, Last Judgement, mysteriously appearing in Magdalena Tulli’s novel entitled Włoskie szpilki [Italian High-Heels].
