title: A displaced person’s settling of accounts: the grotesque image of the post-war order in the poetry of Tadeusz Borowski
abstract: The main thesis in the introductory part of the article argues that Tadeusz Borowski’s poems, written from the perspective of a DP camp inmate, involve the claim and show the image of reality after World War II in a grotesque way.
