This article presents Barbara Klicka’s novel Zdrój as an example of an illness narrative.The novel is discussed in the context of both other examples of the genre and the theoretical worksdevoted to the topic. The fact she is experiencing illness determines the protagonist’s existence andher perception of the world. It influences her emotions. As a hypersensitive individual, she is ableto recognise the mechanisms of oppression embedded in the process of treatment, such as the objectificationof patients. The narrator’s status is peculiar – she is not losing the battle with her illness,neither is she recovering. She is a “wounded storyteller,” remaining in a liminal state. Illness is oneof the essential elements of the protagonist’s identity, and not simply the theme of her story butrather a condition without which the story would not exist.

The article explores the problem of reconstructing the experience of illness based on the narratives of people with mental disease. The research used the method of biographical interviews. The material consists of 16 biographical narratives of Dr J. Babiński Clinical Hospital patients. Their accounts form a coherent image of suffering caused by the illness included experiences preceding the disease, somatic symptoms, admission, and stay in the hospital. Thanks to the collected narratives, we have the opportunity to learn about the subjective experiences from the patient’s perspective, which is not present in the literature on psychopathology.
