In her novel 'Kabaret metafizyczny' (Metaphysical Cabaret) the author attempts to give the turn to this situation with an irreverent and very fun subversion in the literary use of the parts of the body and the resources of the eroticism from a more feminine vision. But Gretkowska moves far beyond the boundaries of erotic literature and uses her feminine erotism to provoke and to play, while finally constructing a novel of philosophical accents and a criticism to the contemporary society. Nevertheless, Gretkowska knows very well her radical provocation and criticism have an amplified effect in the still so mostly Catholic Polish culture.
