摘要

The creative output of the 鈥渟enior鈥?Pankowski offers a revision of the state of widowhood and an attempt to express certain experiences that too often remain unspoken (such as eroticism among elderly people). Whereas in the micro-novel 鈥楶ismo w stron臋 mi艂o艣ci鈥?(鈥榃riting Towards Love鈥? 1999) Pankowski brackets off and then deconstructs common ways of speaking and writing about elderly love and the ageing body, the more recent m>Bal wd贸w i wdowc贸wm> (m>The Widows始 and Widowers始 Ballm>, 2006) constructs a completely new language (that differs from sentimental speech and refrains from withdrawing into the past tense). By doing so, the author regains speech, time and space for issues that so far have remained on the cultural margins. As such, Pankowski is an exponent of the sensu stricto modernist willingness to widen the borders of reality by means of artistic creation.
