Sometimes, they’re more socially-oriented, like Krytyka Polityczna, which used to meet here regularly. Krakow is a typically academic city, so there should be no shortage of people interested in our offer. I clutch my ticket and feel the pressure of my guy’s shoulder next to mine. Many people like Massolit because of the fact that it falls a little “outside” of the literary circles of Krakow. A raven sits over the bar, flanked by classic typewriters on antique shelves. Sunshine and humidity keep doors open most hours of the day while the city gently hums in a radiant current. I have to admit that there’s been a definite change for the better where it comes to knowledge of English. For many people Massolit is still a bit of a “foreign” place, where our closest neighbours wouldn’t really feel comfortable. This lady was very upset – she was convinced that there was only one Bible, and it was the Catholic one. L: … and in poetry, Andrzej Sosnowski and Tomasz Różycki whom I know myself, more or less. I feel like a lot of people say that kids who grow up in that kind of world go crazy.

We’re three bars ahead of them when a random storm forces us to slow our wandering.

I think that’s the direction that Massolit wants to go in. Such is our summer. The problem is that so far, not much of it has been translated into English. L: The kind that would show not only literary life in America, but in other European countries, too. They should be 3-2. (laughs) The problem is that the owner of our building doesn’t want to separate the rubbish for some reason. What about the most local atmosphere? D: Sometimes there are difficulties – when we invite an English-speaking writer to read his work, especially in the case of poetry, it might be difficult for some people to keep up, which makes the discussion more difficult later on. It’s also kind of an example of a very natural development: we were a bookstore, we became a café, and now we’re going to become a foundation that conducts cultural activities.

So we started working on the foundation and developing our cultural activities, which gives us completely new possibilities. He immediately reaches for a bottle of bitters, the hallmark of a cocktail he created for me and has perfected over the last seven years: fizzy lemon-lime soda, rich bourbon poured with a generous hand, and spicy bitters, with a spear of orange and cherries to swizzle. But I’d recommend Andrzej Stasiuk, for example…. D: It’s funny, although I don’t get many chances to recommend things to customers, when someone wants to get to know Poland and its culture better, I bring them Sienkiewicz. It was a situation that happened to a feminist group that met here. I mean, this is kind of crazy, considering we're in the middle of a global pandemic.

And the tourists want to know as much as they can about Poland, its history or culture.

They meet on Monday mornings, which is why there were so many people. It is not the fanciest drink ever created, but it tastes of summer and is made all the more sweet by the friendly kiss to my hand Jacques delivers with it. D: To be honest, I often recommend Zygmunt Miłoszewski’s mysteries, where you can find a very specific picture of Poland. Are you sure to delete your private version? There was quite a bit of talk about it, such an unpleasant story. If they were, we're having a different conversation.
