Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim is a classic novel, popular both with readers and critics. It has been in print ever since the date of its first publication, 1954, and still attracts critical attention. Most criticism concerning Lucky Jim focuses on the academic milieu it delineates and its main representatives, Jim Dixon and Professor Welch. However, a discerning reader will immediately notice that Amis’s novel is crowded with marginal characters, whose presence contributes immensely to Amis’s masterpiece. The aim of this article is to revisit Lucky Jim in order to focus on a number of background characters and give more prominence to their role in the novel.

For the last sixty years, the French novel has sought for one or several aesthetic paths, failing to do so and sputtering into lots of individual perspectives, with an autofictional ruling pattern and with an increasing role of the media. Contemporary novel seems to have forgotten or not to care anymore about being a privileged means to question and to understand the world.

Artykuł jest analizą postaci Polowania na karaluchy Janusza Głowackiego. Główny problem koncentruje się wokół relacji Anki i Janka, głównych bohaterów dramatu. Nieprzystosowani do życia w Nowym Jorku, cierpią na bezsenność. Ukryte pretensje, zaniedbania i rozczarowania stanowią podstawę codziennej konwersacji. Rozgrywki małżeńskie prowadzą do prawdy dość powszechnej – pragnienia bycia razem i jednocześnie wynikających z tego uprzedzeń i rozczarowań. Bohaterowie mają świadomość egzystencjalnej pułapki i tę świadomość próbują w sobie zagłuszyć. Do frustracji osobistych i zawodowych bohaterów dochodzi istotna kwesta – tożsamości emigranta. Ważnym aspektem jest problem jednostkowej tożsamości, ukształtowanej i zdeterminowanej uczestnictwem w określonym układzie ról społecznych.

The main aim of the paper is to analyse the dramatic figures in Huntig for Cockroaches by Janusz Głowacki. The dramatic figure is a vital problem for the theory of drama and the theory of theatre. Author portrays contemporary figures, showing their existence and identities. He does it with irony and grotesque. An important problem that is posed is how emigrants try to find their place in a new society. Głowacki’s play is a reflection on wounded identity, both with regard to the human being in general and the author himself who is hidden within the characters

The French nouveau roman is characterised by lack of numerous elements typical of the traditional, commonly called Balzacian, novel. This lack involves the rejection of plot, omniscient narrator, psychological, moral and ideological factors, social and political engagement, the decomposition of character, the indeterminacy and gradual implosion of time and space as well as the text generation based on some lack or void. The aim of the article is to present these missing elements of the represented world and to discuss their functions in the works of leading practitioners of the nouveau roman, such as Samuel Beckett (predecessor), Michel Butor, Marguerite Duras, Robert Pinget, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute and Claude Simon.
