It should be noted at the beginning - not the Kapuściński will be discussed here. But about what - or more accurately - who, after him remained. Such names as even Goldfinch, Hugo-Bader, Ostałowska, Tochman, Smolensk, Szablowski create constellations of outstanding Polish contemporary reporters and prove that the lessons put to them by the author of 'The Emperor', but also Kąkolewskiego and Krall [1] been properly learned.

begins with a tale Wojciech Tochman about a man who wakes up on the rails and has no identity, something going out of his memory. Has to new to learn Polish. For me it is a metaphor, we in the early 90s when we had to learn everything all over again.
Ends Wojciech Tochman a reportage about a man who has several of these identities. Catholic priest HIV positive, gay, practicing unsafe sex clubs in European cities, also loves Jesus much like mom and dad. Identity multiplied - a few people in one.
