Abstract

The latest book by Piotr Oczko, Pocztówka z Mokum. 21 opowieści o Holandii (Postcard from Mokum, 21 stories about Holland) is a very intriguing and very personal view of the Netherlands. This view, presented in 21 essays, shows a wealth of cultural layers in the past and in modern society: from art and poetry of the Golden Age, through architecture to homosexuality. In his book, Oczko also presents his personal view of the Polish society A.D. 2021, and expresses his ‘discomfort’ about it (to use the words of Marieke Lucas Rijneveld). Oczko’s Pocztówka... is not an ‘everyday’ book. Still, it is definitely worth reading.
