Abstract
This article offers an interpretation of the novel “Zabij Kleopatręˮ (1968) by Teodor
Parnicki. Thanks to post-secular reflection, it is possible to situate the writer as
a watchful observer of the so-called “exhaustion of modernity.ˮ This interpretation is
based on a detailed analysis – through the disintegration of the generic determinants
of the novel, the meta-literary level is gradually constructed to support a post-secular
reading. “Zabij Kleopatręˮ can be regarded as a breakthrough novel among Parnicki’s
writings
