Abstract
The aim of the article is to show the role of various metaphorical practices that are a dominant structural feature of Andrzej Stasiuk’s prose, used to construct his textual reality. Comparisons, metaphorical statements, and enumerations represent textual figures that transform the described experience of the world from the perspective of the speaking subject, subjectivising and constructing reality, rather than merely representing it. In both his novels and feuilletons, Stasiuk relates his experiences of the world in different temporal orders, constructing them on a textual level. Yet his thoroughly subjective prose preserves the conventions of realism. At the same time, Stasiuk quite often refers to the genre of the road novel, both in his fiction and in his journalism. Textual figures of experience are his basic means of describing the presented world.

Summary
E aim of the article is to show the role of various metaphorical practices that are a dominant structural feature of Andrzej Stasiuk’s prose, used to construct his textual reality. Doświadczenie nie może więc istnieć poza relacją z rzeczywistością (jakimś światem) i łączy się z nieprzewidywalnością efektów tego kontaktu. Powiada Stasiuk w wielokrotnie cytowanej przez komentatorów jego twórczości odpowiedzi na ankietę z „Tekstów Drugich”: Jeśli coś jest dobrze napisane, to ma wartość niezależnie od przedmiotu, którym się zajmuje.
