About the book: 2021 / “Things I Didn’t Throw Away” - a book about something that is not particularly customary to talk about: death, experience loss, memory of departed loved ones. And also about the inextricable connection with the past, about words and silence, about a person who never disappears without a trace. Turning to the world of ordinary things, the author tells the story of his mother, followed by History with a capital H, of which we are all a part. The book received the prestigious Prize of the magazine "Politics", the Witold Gombrowicz Prize and the main Polish literary award "Nike" (2018). Marcin Wicha (b. 1972) - graphic artist, designer of covers, posters and logos, essayist.
