"Coming to Babadag" is the best contemporary story inspired by Bruno Schulz, is a peculiar book, it is story about a trip to Czech, Slovak, Hungarian provinces, the territories of Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria. Stasiuk has used a strange dream-like atmosphere to heighten the impression of more originality of these places. So, do not meet here the reader how stereotypical descriptions of reality, which often consists of the contents of books and guides travel. Not nowhere on a hot relationship with the multi-census towns and interesting places worth recommending. Journey, which invites Stasiuk begins "somewhere" and lasts. There is no place for good, there are no places specified time, but they are spaces to which all roads lead. These are the places where the primordial moment forgot the pass, and time shifts instead to run forward.
Everything is made up of a given reality, and thus the gains of civilization, the coordinates Geographic are not important, because they do not reflect the essence of what the original. "Nonexistence" in the center of modernity makes matter will be an excellent beginning point for exploration, an attempt to reach out to what is past.
Stasiuk's book is a collection of interesting story told from the border essay and reportage. Their merits are not a land of people who come to visit autowi. Heroes of the story are similar, cut from the same piece of clay. Their lives are determined hard work and the cycle continues to pose a Nature again. At the opposite extreme poses Stasiuk Gypsies, which still looks out for while traveling. It's a wandering people, therefore, not tied to the ground. Weighed down by the burden of eternity. Gypsy music as well as different laws, according to Stasiuk they are aware of the cracks that open transition from one world to another.
unity, repetition, this lack of originality in Western Europe, is trying to find Stasiuk. Those three words seem to be synonymous with paradise for the author, and travel, in which the ventures is a realization of the dreams of lost happiness. Like Schulz, looking for gaps, through which you can get outside, disintegrating matter.
