	Polish culture: Tadeusz Konwicki
		Tadeusz Konwicki, the writer, director and script-writer, was born in New Wilejka in the Vilnius area in 1926.
		While Konwicki's prose and essays written before the political thaw of 1956 have the typical characteristics of toeing the ideological line of the authorities and, indeed, are ideologically committed, his film-making, dating mostly from later years, is almost free of that fault.
		Konwicki belongs to a generation for which the war experience was all the more shattering given that it occurred in their young years with their first exultations, fascinations and loves.

	Models of represented reality in the prose of Tadeusz Konwicki Canadian Slavonic Papers - FindArticles
		Indeed, the referential power of Konwicki's prose, delivered in an "easy," almost colloquial style is compelling and at least partly responsible for his literary popularity.
		The reader who enters Konwicki's fictional world is overwhelmed by the density of narrated events and the concreteness of its imagery; this is true even of those narratives in which the writer exploits juxtaposition of external reality with dreams and fantasy.
		In the most simplified way, the models of reality in Konwicki's prose can be approximated through the Bakhtinian concept of chronotope, that is, as an "intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spacial relationships"5 placed on the axis of temporal order of past, present and future.

	Dalkey Archive Press: Tadeusz Konwicki
		As in his novel The Polish Complex, Konwicki's A Minor Apocalypse stars a narrator and character named Konwicki, who has been asked to set himself on fire that evening in front of the Communist Parry headquarters in Warsaw in an act of protest.
		Through the narrator we are told of what happens among those standing in line outside this store, what happens as the narrator's mind thinks and rants about the current state of Poland, and what happens as he imagines the failed Polish rebellion of 1863.
		The novel's form allows Konwicki (both character and author) to roam around and through Poland's past and present, and to range freely through whatever comes to his attention.

		The author/narrator portrays his Lithuanian Polish grandmother, Helena Konwicka, as a young woman torn between her fiance, a stuffy, conventional count, and a magnetic Jewish wanderer and political activist.
		Musically mixing memory and foreboding, Konwicki (Moonrise, Moonset) peoples his brooding landscape with two future despots: the young Hitler (here called Schicklgruber), and Stalin (here Police Chief Dzhugashvili, whose chief delight is arresting nationalists and liberals).
		Konwicki's latest novel is finely crafted and offers timely insight into the current Lithuanian turmoil.

		As the Solidarity movement fizzles, he calls Poland, his native land, "an enormous labor camp," its inhabitants "the most seasoned slaves in all of Europe." His prose cuts like a knife through the sterility of Soviet domination on the one hand and the lethargy of his fellow Poles on the other.
		This diary shuttles back and forth between "the daily, senseless free-for-all" of 19801981, his adolescent years on the run from Nazi invaders and Lithuanian police, a literary junket to Stalinist Russia and childhood in Lithuania.
		As Konwicki continues exploring the events that have transpired between his childhood and the 1981 imposition of martial law in Poland, the list of indignities builds steadily.
