The article discusses different uses of fiction in the contemporary Polish reportage, with a special focus on the fiction of discourse. This kind of fiction is described as a specific authorial way of delivering comments and reporting conversations or speeches. Such solutions do not change the plot. The issues addressed in the article concern primarily the ways in which this narrative technique infl uences the readers and whether the fiction of discourse is possible in the reportage or it only misrepresents reality.
