The article analyzes In the Darkroom by Susan Faludi as representing filial narratives – biographies of a parent reconstructed and told by a son or a daughter, as well as post-memory literature – a reflection of the inherited trauma mediated by generational successors. The text demonstrates spatial entanglements in which the author’s father made his metamorphosis: from a Hungarian Jew, István Friedman, through an American photographer Steven Faludi, to a Hungarian woman, pensioner and patriot Stef´anie Faludi. Thus, the paper reconstructs the threads present in this book – a combination of geographical and historical contexts determining the individual identity choices made by each of us.
