Karpowiczów dwóch – o dialogu prozy Ignacego Karpowicza i poezji Tymoteusza Karpowicza

Two of Them – the dialogue of Ignacy Karpowicz prose and Tymoteusz Karpowicz poetry This essay is about the participation of poetry Tymoteusz Karpowicz at Ignacy Karpowicz novels. The basis for writing prose is fragmented, multiplying references and styles, and above all the use of quotes and quasi citations. The article analyzed the references to the Karpowicz work occurring in three works: Gesty (2008), Balladyny i romanse (2010) and Spam (2008). This feature of the postmodern novel (Hassan) is here discussed in the perspective of the concept “rhizome” (Deleuze, Guattari). Karpowicz strips his characters with delusions of values. Both artists also connects the way contact with the customer – constantly shifting horizon of meaning results in the loss of opportunities to communicate and ultimately the possibility of incurring defeat.
