The work experience of literary heroes from the generation of „Tekstylia” and the question of autobiography The main purpose of this article is to present the work experience of literary protagonists, who are the representatives of „Tekstylia” generation – people born in the seventies and early eighties, thus the generation, which after years of Polish prosperity in the nineties had to confront brutal capitalist reality at the turn of the XX and XXI century. In my opinion, the work experience of these writers is reflected in plots of their books, where main characters are forced to confront Polish even more brutal capitalist reality at the turn of the XX and XXI century, working as bank assistants, copywriters or tabloid newspaper’s journalists. Corporate enslavement and unfeeling, deprived of empathy managers, constitute main themes of analyzed works, therefore, primarily, I devote my attention to these exact issues.
