Taking into consideration ambiguous title of Wiesław Myśliwski’s novel Ostatnie rozdanie (The last deal), the author traces the poker-like existential plot. Asking questions about who plays? – who with? – what for? – the author analyses various aspects of the text. She notices that narrator’s dialogues with himself, with ‘I’ emerging form memories (always construed), are characterized by constant balancing between different conceptions of subject and fate. In his “treatise on instability” the narrator, commenting past events, diagnoses culture and the condition of a “contingent” human being. In narrator’s games one can hear the writer’s “last word” (a testament) – the narrator entraps the reader in the last “game” with oneself, inviting to meditation on ‘”last” and “ultimate” things. In his parabolic narrative, in which the narrator has some features of Everyman, the most important thing is an attempt to manage / understand one’s own / human fate.
