“Only literature allows you to touch the heart of things with detachment”. On literature, illness and death in Jerzy Pilch’s “The Third Diary” The author of this article analyses “Trzeci dziennik” (The Third Diary) in terms of the transformations taking place in Jerzy Pilch’s creative strategy. The self-creation characteristic of Pilch’s writing also includes the most difficult issues: illness, old age and death. Speaking about them in the context of one’s own experiences is impossible outside literature. Silence becomes one of the means of communication. “Trzeci dziennik” (The Third Diary) is an attempt to testify to the victory of literature over the impossibility of expression.
