The article depicts biography and works of the forgotten writer Donat Kirsch. It puts emphasis on his debut novel Liście croatoan. The critical part of this article is preceded by brief discussion on chosen aspects of Polish literary life in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. The author presents a critical thought of that time underlying the work of Henryk Bereza. Presentation of Donat Kirsch inspires the author to ask why the, so called, “young prose” (Kirsch’s works are classified in) is almost unknown to both readers and literary scholars.

The article discusses circumstances surrounding Donat Kirsch’s debut (Liście croatoan, 1977) and presents various critical responses to the novel. A special attention is given to Jerzy Sosnowski who “demonized” Liście croatoan when in his journalistic writings and his novel (Sen sów, 2016) he underlined that the novelsupposedly resists being read. The article attempts to reconstruct the inclinations of Kirsch’s book interpreters. It also raises the issue of literary skills that brought about this debut.

The author analyses Donat Kirsch’s essay Elaborat – debiuty lat siedemdziesiątych. This Polish, non well-known writer of the 1970s describes the literature of that period, especially the trend known as “the young prose” and tries to explain how it emerged, developed and disappeared. His discourse is built on opposition “live-dead”, characteristic for Polish Modernism, what is more, it combines avant-garde concepts of literature and Foucault’s terms such as language and discourse, which is quite unique. Kirsch says that modernity obscures language and makes it almost non-useable, so the novel, in particular the experimental novel, should deal with that fact. Such demand is utopian but necessary, otherwise literature could not cope with reality and human alienation becomes deeper and almost unbearable. Essayist points out that “the young prose” had not succeeded, but he predicted this failure. This diagnose is awkward, but its source is in Kirsch’s discourse: he is convinced that he proposes different non-modern / post-modern literature, but it is quite the opposite, therefore all the limitations and paradoxes of modern literature still stand.

Autor analizuje esej Donata Kirscha Elaborat – debiuty lat siedemdziesiątych. Ten niezbyt szeroko znany pisarz lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku opisuje nurt występujący pod nazwą „młoda proza”. Swój dyskurs opiera na charakterystycznej dla modernizmu strategii różnicowania, czerpie inspiracje z awangardowych koncepcji literatury. Odwołuje się także do leksyki Michela Foucaulta. Twierdzi, że nowoczesność uniemożliwia posługiwanie się językiem, lecz zarazem rekompensuje ten stan za pomocą literatury.
