playing around with literature//fiddling around with literature
Wróćmy do tego, co pan pisze. O czym jest niedokończona książka?
– Na przykład o stołach w moim życiu. To ważny dla mnie mebel. Lubię usiąść za stołem i wpatrywać się w dal, z łokciami wbitymi aż do odcisków w blat. Z tego pokoju mam świetny widok na przestrzał, na niebo. Piszę też o swoich początkach, o tym, że moja zabawa w literaturę zaczęła się od kłamstwa.
To znaczy?
– Miałem 15, może 16 lat kiedy poszedłem po autograf starszego pisarza, który mieszkał w moich okolicach, koło Połczyna-Zdroju. Na jego pytanie, czy sam coś piszę, odparłem z całą stanowczością, że oczywiście. Powiedział, że chciałby to zobaczyć. Umówiliśmy się, a że ja dotrzymuję słowa, to musiałem mu coś przywieźć na następne spotkanie. Tak się zaczęła ta zabawa. Ale o czymś takim jak wydrukowana własna książka w tym czasie absolutnie jeszcze nie marzyłem. Ciągle żyłem z tym dziecięcym pytaniem: „jak zostaje się pisarzem". To był dla mnie gatunek nadczłowieka.

PLAY AROUND
1. To engage in unstructured or loosely stuctured play.
I wouldn't worry about the shouting—that's just the boys playing around.
2. To engage in aimless recreation or frivolous time-wasting; to fool around.
Quit playing around and work on your book report already, Scotty!
You two need to stop playing around and focus on finishing the job!
3. To tinker or fiddle with something.

True, some beginner writers did use postmodernism as a handy alibi for a reckless toying with literature and this caricatured version was soon labelled the norm - https://www.eurozine.com/postmodernism-in-poland-the-polish-...

I was going through the motions, but my work felt empty. It was in the midst of this listlessness that I began toying with writing. - https://aphantasia.com/aphantastic-discovery/

Around the same time, I began toying with writing longer fiction – the novel I began writing back then is still on the back burner, though. - https://www.anureviews.com/madhulika-liddle-on-delhi-and-her...
