Feast of Fire is the story of the Łabendowicz family. It is essentially three interwoven narratives intended to be moving, entertaining, and sometimes gently affecting. The story of a father caring for his twenty-ne-year-old daughter Anastazja, who has cerebral palsy, and the trials and tribulations of his second daughter, thirty-year-old ballet dancer Łucja, truly reads like a movie script. In particular, the sections narrated by Anastazja are richly and authentically delightful. This young woman, imprisoned in her disabled body, observes and, at the same time, creates the world beyond her window. Yet Małecki’s aim is not to write yet another story about suffering. Anastazja’s world is poetically moving because it makes us practice sensitivity and imagination. When she lovingly gazes at photos of puddles from different corners of the globe, it is better to go “jumping” through the puddles outside her window later. This warmth of detail seems able to rescue even the most challenging story.
