Anna, Another and the Excluded are the main characters in Zbigniew Kruszyński’s stories: Schwedenkrauter, Na lądach i morzach and Powrót Aleksandra. Anna reveals the true colors of reality – where men nostalgically long for an archetypical image of love; Another becomes a substitute for the lost woman and then starts transforming into No¬ one; the Excluded represent a cursed piece of reality. Their peculiar features, habits and activities create a controversial and unconventional picture. The writer’s style complicates the reader’s view even more: voyeurism determines perception here. These characters are not only subjects of artistic depiction, but also lenses through which readers are watching or (together with the narrator) taking a peek at the world.

The article reflects upon the works of Andrzej Bart and Zbigniew Kruszyński, concentrating on how urban space is correlated with the category of identity. The most useful here then seems geopoetic reading with its concepts of history’s influence upon geography (and different visions of Polish identity), biography and space identity, mythologizing urban space (Łódź in Bart, Radom and Wrocław in Kruszyński), and the relationship between autobiographical memory and space experience. Additionally, of special importance here is the interaction between movement and stability and between sedentariness and nomadism.
