Grażyna Kubica's book is an invitation to reflect on the nature of cognition and new ways of thinking about anthropology. It is a read for those who want to explore the secrets of knowledge, research practice, and the role of the researcher in a dynamically changing world. The author analyzes Polish literary and ethnographic works, both old and contemporary, conducting conversations with its creators, such as Irena Borowik, Antoni Kroh, Andrzej Dybczak, Ludwika Włodek, Michał Garapich, Agata Maksimowska, Michał Rauszer, Izabela Wagner, Kacper Pobłocki, Agnieszka Pajączkowska, and Vincent Crapanzano.

This publication is particularly interesting due to its interdisciplinary nature, combining elements of literature and anthropology. Kubica examines how ethnographers, while collecting empirical material, experience otherness and relativity, which leads them to create artistic texts written with an "other hand." These texts allow for the expression of experiences, doubts, and fascinations that do not fit into traditional field monographs. In this way, the boundaries between anthropology and literature begin to blur, opening up new research perspectives.

This book speaks of "two-handedness" as a natural predisposition, resulting from the need to talk about events, experiences, affections, and experiences that do not fit into formally tailored scientific texts. It is also a desire to invent a new communication formula in complex circuits of humanistic and social knowledge. This publication is a valuable source of knowledge for all those interested in anthropology, literature, and culture, offering a new perspective on Polish literary and ethnographic works.
