The suggestions concerning the interpretation of the title word point at some notions crucial for understanding Nowak’s prose writing: the feeling of yearning for what has been lost and suffering incurred by the awareness of lack. The shape of a circle plays a significant role in these deliberations, since repetition seems to be the antidote for fading away and dying. Writing – here also understood as a form of repetition – becomes a necessary and continually undertaken attempt to heal the wound caused by the experience of loss.}, doi = {10.4467/23531991KK.16.019.6758}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/konteksty-kultury/article/wszystko-jest-powtorzone-na-jednym-ostrzu-noza-o-doswiadczeniu-utraty-w-przebudzeniach-tadeusza-nowaka} }
