I Accidentally Stepped on a Black Cat is the story of Błażej, a crybaby and annoying fool who tries to find his place in the world of adults, busy with their trifles. When the cat Szatan disappears under mysterious circumstances, the shopkeeper Stefa gives birth to a child, and it is impossible to follow the nuns, Błażej must face a reality that differs from his ideas. It is a story about love that has no one to give, about the search for meaning, and about how much the world of our ideas differs from the world in which we live.

Filip Zawada created a hero who tries to explain the world to himself, reducing the language to the simplest words. Thanks to this, he achieved a synthesis of human experience, full of anxiety, which we adults are ashamed to admit. It is a novel that exposes human (and a bit divine) nature in a brutal and uncompromising way. Laughter turning into tears rarely happens while reading, but when reading Zawada, I burst out laughing and roared like a beaver almost at the same time.
