Stanislaw Barszczak—Ways of Escape—

 

Why I am writing. After a disturbed childhood, I went to “Mary high school”, Częstochowa, and then began a career in spirituality, joining a priesthood in 1986. In that years I was converted to Catholicism, partly through the influence of my mother and strong an education and ways of creating suspense in my life. I want to be safe In the unstable world. When I started writing, unless a very long time … I clean up, go away. When classmates laughed at me, laughed in my eyes, “Little Son”-spoke. I think not. Because I felt bad inside, , I do not think so. This is indeed an escape from reality, while its defense. I wanted to keep writing in my mother’s feeling, which later in life and leave something on the side. I want to write a particularly those emotions that I carry with you in my life and the world has been left one’s far behind. I love to write now, because it offers me the enigma of my life and justification for the Christian witness. I write only to relieve bad conscience from my youth. Because it gives me some satisfaction. I agreed to the mixed reactions to my first book. I have been in travel then, I choose to journey without maps. My heroes were stationed at Dąbrowa Górnicza, Poland, which provided the setting for my best-being in a narration. The books of mine explore sometimes the downfall of “a colonial officer”, driven by pity to commit the mortal sin of suicide. A preoccupation with sin and moral failure dominates my tales, and this is usually played out in an environment characterized by danger, violence and seedy decay. Many of my texts have been set in parts of the world where political collapse is imminent. The Lawless Roads in Mexico support me. I’ve seen in my life Primate Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski and Pope John Paul II, as the two most profound and important philosophers of the generation of mine. But the central figure in my prose was the ‘whisky’ priest also, a weak and frightened character who nevertheless feels impelled to fulfill his priestly duties, despite the constant threat of death at the hands of the revolutionary government. My texts also describe a strikingly distinctive world where the characters labor under various forms of social, political, or psychological stress. I want to show in my writing the texts which are characterized by a satirical sense of the absurd and organized institutions which manipulate people’s lives in the name of reason or morality. I want have been consummate stylist and playful investigator into the nature of art.
