Trudno z miłości się podnieść. Manuela Gretkowska w rozmowie z Patrycją Pustkowiak
Bezczelna, wzruszajaca, niezwykla - rozmowa z Manuela Gretkowska, nasza narodowa libertynka. O milosnych komplikacjach, slow life i fast sex, duchowosci, narkotykach, a przede wszystkim o wspólczesnej Polsce. Manifest swobody myslenia i bycia wbrew cenzurze, hejtowi, banowaniu, przemilczaniu i wycinaniu. Ksiazka antysarmacka, raczej nie dla katolików. Dla mnie najwazniejsze jest to, by nie powtarzac cudzych mysli i dobrze napisac wlasne. A ze komus sie nie spodoba? Jestes panna na wydaniu i zalotnicy ci powiedzieli, ze nie jestes w ich targecie?

About the author
Manuela Gretkowska
41 books57 followersGretkowska studied philosophy at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. In 1988 she left Poland to live in Paris, where she studied anthropology at École des hautes études en sciences sociales. It was France where she wrote her first short stories.
Gretkowska's literary debut was the novel We Are Immigrants Here (My zdies' emigranty) (1991), in which she ironically described the experiences of the young generation leaving Poland. Gretkowska's next three books described the life of a modern artistic-intellectual bohemian living in France: Paris Tarot (1993), Metaphysical Cabaret (1994), and Textbook for people. Skull: The First and Last Volume (1996) connects gnosis, kabbala, the character of Mary Magdalene and the skull motif in global culture. In this period, the writer earned the title of "scandalist" and "postmodernist." Manuela Gretkowska's prose eschewed grandiose language, more similar to the ease and austerity of the essay. In 1996, Gretkowska wrote a screenplay for the Andrzej Żuławski film Szamanka (She-Shaman).
In 1997, Gretkowska moved to Sweden, where she published several collected stories in the book Namiętnik (The Passionate One) (1998), notes from her world travels in Światowidz (World-View) (1998), and her columns, under the collective title Silikon (Silicon) (2000). She also co-wrote the screenplay for the first season of the TV series Miasteczko (Small Town) (2000).
Gretkowska's newest work is more personal, almost intimiate prose. Polka (Polish woman) (2001) was the writer's pregnancy journal, while Europejka (European Woman) (2004) presents a humorous view of a changing Poland through the eyes of Gretkowska the intellectual. In 2003 the author, together with her partner Piotr Pietucha wrote Scenes from Extramarital Life.

Wywiad rzeka z Gretkowską, czerpiący też (czasami verbatim) z wcześniej wydanych dzienników i felietonów (serio, o co chodzi z tym kopiuj wklej w takie wywiady?). Trochę o miłości / związkach, trochę historii rodzinnych, trochę o emigracji do Francji, trochę o Żuławskim, trochę o pisaniu, trochę o Polsce, trochę o duchowości, tarocie, astrologii. Czytałam w nie za dużych dawkach, bo całość naraz nieco by męczyła.

Ciekawe, choć czasami męczące. Dobra odtrutka na polską codzienność.
