This interpretation is an attempt at monitoring the presence of 'Others' in Zofia Nalkowska's autobiographical text as well as the ways in which that presence is featured within the perspective of the 'appropriate form', the key problem of all her fictions. 'Form is curiosity and hatred, and not a dress to be put on' - Nalkowska writes in one of her novels. Consequently, 'appropriate form' is more than a mere aesthetic category. An analysis of Nalkowska's relations with her mother, with men, and other women, reveals an ethical dimension of her aestheticism. Furthermore, this in-depth study of her presentation of 'Others' in the 'Diaries' leads to the identification of a number of paradoxes which seem to characterize any narcissistic story. The authoress of this article conduces with some surpise that egotism and narcissism do not necessarily go hand in hand; the latter is more closely connected to the paradoxes of private, intimate writing. This article is partly a polemical correction of one of her earlier studies (The stolen profile: Mother in Zofia Nalkowska's 'Diaries') published in Ruch Literacki (No 5, 2001).
