"Miłosz Dictionary" is such a substitute. It replaces a novel, an essay about the entire 20th century, a memoir. Everyone recorded in the book is active in a network, interprets each other, relies on each other, and is related to certain historical facts of the 20th century. "Dictionary" (Abecadlo) is a unique literary form in Poland. It is a loose style composed of short articles (entries). The articles are arranged in the order of the first letter of the entry name. "Miłosz Dictionary" is the 20th century that Milosz personally experienced and witnessed. Almost all those who have been to heaven or hell on earth with him have gone to the ghost kingdom.
