This article describes the phenomenon of large blocks of flats in the latest popular prose. It indicates that many writers, such as Cichowski, Chutnik, and Wilk, return to their childhood spent in the period of the late PRL [the Polish People’s Republic]. The leisurely rhythm of the story along with the factual recording of the old world reflect the atmosphere of the lost carefree life. The rich enumeration of retro-objects develops into the glorification of the past. Chutnik, Wilk and Cichowski focus on describing interpersonal relationships based on friendship and solidarity. Their works constitute a valuable bridge between the past and the present.
