This book by one of Poland's most outstanding critics and scholars of contemporary literature is devoted to the most recent decade in the history of Polish literature. "Moveable Margins" is divided into sections titled "Margins of the Breakthrough," "Margins of the Polish People's Republic," "Margins of the Contemporary" and "Margins of the Future." Czaplinski discusses the most interesting novels to appear in recent years, including Dichter's "Szkola beznoznikow / The School of the Legless", Skrzyposzek's "Wolna trybuna / Vacant Podium", Redlinski's "Krfotok / Hemrage", Sadaja's "Lawka pod kasztanem / The Bench under the Chestnut" and Kowalewski's "Bog zaplacz / Weep, God, Weep". Przemyslaw Czaplinski is the author of "Nuda w kulturze / Boredom in Culture" (1999), "Literatura polska 1987-1999 / Polish Literature 1987-1999" (1999), and "Wzniosle tesknoty / Lofty Longings" (2001). "Czaplinski is today's most outstanding scholar of contemporary Polish prose. His new book draws on the best traditions in critical writing. In reading literary texts with a rare insight, he never loses sight of the 'Whole' – a concept made up simultaneously of the whole of literature, history, and politics, the edifice of cultural contexts and references, and the state of mind of contemporary Poles. His critical ruminations on literature are at once a diagnosis of today's Poland and an engaging report on the processes of understanding both texts and the world in which they are created." (Jerzy Jarzebski)
