Beyond Dichotomies: The Narrator in Szczepan Twardoch’s Novel Drach

Abstract

The article explores the profiles and functions of the narrator in the novel Drach (2014) by the Upper Silesian writer Szczepan Twardoch. Central for the discussion is the assumption that the narrator is a hybrid construct that unites various mythological and archetypal images. Moving beyond conventional dichotomies, Twardoch creates an original Upper Silesian novel in which the question of a (self-)destructive (Upper Silesian) identity is thematized.

Keywords:
