Przepisana biografia matki. O Małej Zagładzie Anny Janko w perspektywie pamięci biodziedzicznej

Mała Zagłada by Anna Janko makes a particular binarration consisting of tales about the war childhood of the mother (Teresa Ferenc, poetess) and the childhood of the daughter brought up in the shadow of the trauma, and in consequence – about the trauma’s bio-inheritance by subsequent generations, a parentification. This epigenesis of trauma is expressed in Janko’s prose by the constant confrontation of the remembered with the imagined, the remembered with the written, the rewritten with the assigned. The negotiated biography of the mother and the daughter is the result of the dynamism of both women’s memory and oblivion.
