The essay entitled On metaphor in Mariusz Sieniewicz’s prose portrays his works anew. Mariusz Sieniewicz belongs to the youngest generation of writers, the so-called ‘’1970s generation”. He has published two novels so far: Great-grandmother (1999), The fourth heaven (2003) and a collection of short stories We don’t serve Jewish ladies (2005). His prose impresses with unorthodox stylistics, makes us pay attention to the linguistic tone of words, makes us wonder because of its not literal and conveyed meaning. Sieniewicz’s works have an intertextual character, they clearly refer to Gombrowicz’s style or Bulgakov’s prose and other texts belonging to the literary tradition.
