Abstract
The article demonstrates the constructive and numinous nature of the neighbourhood of categoriesof people stereotypically considered mutually hostile or superior/inferior, as well as of peopleand nature to which they belong although they do not pay attention to it on a daily basis. The readingof three selected prose works published at the turn of 21st century – by P. Huelle, S. Chwin, andO. Tokarczuk – highlights previously overlooked aspects of neighbourly relations, a peculiar interpretationof which in 2015–2023 came to the fore in Polish public discourse on neighbourhoods thatare unwanted or cause problems.
