Around the book by Małgorzata Pawlak and Mariusz Szewczyk “EJ! IT DOESN'T GO AWAY EITHER.”

They met in 2015 via the Internet. She has never been to Bialystok. He has never been to Jelenia Góra. They had one phone conversation. And they clicked a little in the chat. They never met in the real world. They wrote a book together.

Mariusz writes about Jelenia Góra in a new mythology created on the basis of images and excerpts from the Internet. Małgorzata is supposed to talk about Białystok, but her narrative still turns towards a small homeland: “On the other hand, I can't imagine how unstable life is when the horizon keeps shifting. The trip from Kotlina invariably ends with a cry for the resident: How flat here! Or at least with a sigh: How flat here... Anyway, I think we are all children of displaced people. Descendants of nomads. And at the same time, wherever we sit for a moment, we take root. We fall in love,” he writes.

Mariusz Szewczyk — craftsman, operator of digital machines. Interests: leaking roof on the garage, multiple, therefore trips to OLX, meetings with interesting people of the roof, several memberships in thematic groups. Education, like everything else, incomplete.
