JAN KRASNOWOLSKI: INFLUENCES AND CONFRONTATIONS

Abstracts

EN

Jan Krasnowolski is one of the most interesting Polish writers currently living and writing in the UK. He belongs to the same group as the poet and novelist Wioletta Greg (who, until recently, called Isle of Wight home and now lives in Essex) or Piotr Czerwiński (from Ireland). All of those authors write in Polish and publish in Poland, although Britain appears in their writing more and more oen. Some of their books get translated into English and published in the UK (especially Wioletta Greg, recently nominated to the Man Booker International Prize for Swallowing Mercury, translated by Eliza Marciniak). There are also several other Polish writers in the UK, such as A. M. Bakalar and Agnieszka Dale, who write in English. Krasnowolski has written four collections of short stories: 9 łatwych kawałków (9 Easy Pieces), Klatka (A Cage), Afrykańska elektronika (African Electronics) and Syreny z Broadmoor ([e Broadmoor Sirens). He practices his own version of literary minimalism. His writing is often defined as lad lit and compared to Raymond Carver. His language is simplified and streamlined; he describes regular people living next door, often finds his inspiration in British tabloid media.
