The text is devoted to an analysis of the model of subjectivity implied by the grotesque means of expression in Marian Pankowski's novel 'Here Comes Matuga'. The fundament of the grotesque world view emerging from the prose is the negation of common myths and stereotypes, and a positively valued corporality. The anthropological model of Pankowki's writing fails to be fully described with Mikhail Bakhtin's categories as it is closer to 'anti- humanistic naturalism'. Important contexts of the issues in question are the prose's connections with the picaresque tradition, and a marked influence of Witold Gombrowicz's writings. The ultimate part of the paper shows that the way Pankowski operates with the grotesque decides about the originality of his writings, and at the same time hides the intellectual and artistic constraints of his prose and of the personality model present in it.

The article presents censorship reviews of "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub" by Stanisław Lem written in censorship offices in Cracow and Warsaw. As a result of the reservations expressed by censors, the author added a new preface to the novel which was accepted for the publication of the book without further interference. Numerous censorship documents dealing only with one novel clarify the circumstances of writing the foreword and also provide some insight to the censors’ way of thinking, illustrate the most important control mechanisms and present formal evaluation criteria – both politically-ideological and aesthetic. The censors evaluating Lem ’s novel do not intend to go through the interpretative labyrinth of "Memoirs…"; they insist on author’s unambiguous comments which would allow to neutralise political vagueness by the 'appropriate' orientation of the novel. When accepting the new preface they seem to omit (yet it is not certain to what extant the omission is deliberate) the fact that the added foreword is another layer of the novel’s fiction and is not a meta-comment which could be considered as the voice of the author.

The article analyzes the reception of Kazimierz Truchanowski’s novel cycle “The Mills of the God”, published between 1961 and 1967, by the censorship bureau. The analysis offers insight into the interesting process of growing tolerance – and indifference – of the censorship bureau towards this kind of hermetic, non-epic prose: far from the official cultural course, but at the same time not engaging in open conflict with it. Review of cen-sors’ reception of the subsequent parts of Truchanowski’s novel can be seen as a contribu¬tion to the history of the so-called “socparnasizm” as well as to the history of the growing pragmatism of the censorship board (and its de-ideologization).

The article discusses the reception of Franz Kafka’s novels and the so-called “dark literature”, popular after 1956, by the censorship board. It presents the discussions around Kafka’s work and various interpretational strategies used to secure this literature a place in the culture of People’s Republic of Poland. The article presents analyses of the censors’ reviews of Kafka’s (but also Sartre’s or Faulkner’s) novels and offers insight into the censorship process and the literary life of the late 1950s in general.
