(b. 1960) – a Polish prose writer, essayist, poet and playwright.

He graduated from elementary school, was often later expelled (from a professional high school, technical school, professional school), holding down various jobs. In the early 1980s, he was involved in the Freedom and Peace pacifist movement, deserted the army and spent a year and a half in prison (he later put his thoughts from this period into a brochure, Prison is Hell). In 1986, he moved from Warsaw to the village of Wołowiec in the Beskid Niski mountains, in a home left behind by resettled Lemko people, and began caretaking the Orthodox church. He and his wife, Monika Sznajderman, have been running Czarne Publishers since 1996; they specialise in non-fiction literature, essays, prose and contemporary reportage.

He achieved fame right from his first book of short stories, ‘Mury Hebronu’ (The Walls of Hebron, 1992). This book made reference to an episode from his biography – his prison term for deserting the army. Above all, however, he showed his irreproachable style: both wolfish and poetic, full of biblical references and allusions to the finest exponents of realist prose. While his first novel (‘Biały kruk’ [White Raven], 1994) was received rather coolly, his next volume of stories, ‘Opowieści galicyjskie’ (Tales of Galicia, 1995), threw open the doors to the literary salons. This slim volume, made up of fifteen moody miniatures, describes the lives of the inhabitants of a backwards village, and the great transformation that took place in an area the writer knew well (Beskid Niski) in the 1990s. A moment later, the discursive element subtly inserted in this prose took centre stage. Stasiuk gradually surrenders to meditations, revealing his philosophical ambitions – as in Dukla (1997), which is interspersed with thoughts on decay, light, and darkness, on changes in space and time.

In the late 1990s, Stasiuk tried to expand his repertoire. The result was an amusing, light autobiographical sketch in a separate book (‘Jak zostałem pisarzem’ [How I Became a Writer], 1998), and his first attempt at a drama: ‘Dwie sztuki (telewizyjne) o śmierci’ (Two [Television] Plays about Death, 1998). He also returned – in ‘Dziewięć’ (Nine, 1999) – to the novel. The action is set in Warsaw in the new age of Polish capitalism; the author, using the form of the thriller and drama, sought to grasp the material and mental signs of the change. Finally, at the close of the decade, he began moving toward pure essay – with Yuri Andrukhovych he wrote  ‘Moja Europa’ (My Europe, 2000) and, on his own, ‘Tekturowy samolot’ (The Cardboard Airplane, 2000).

A new stage in Stasiuk’s work came with the volume ‘Jadąc do Babadag’ (On the Road to Babadag, 2004). Here he worked out an original formula which might be called a travel essay or meditative travel story. His reports from journeys to countries in ‘lesser Europe’ (Romania, Albania, Moldavia, the outskirts of Hungary and Slovakia) are only a geographical-cultural framework, filled with what is crucial to the author: thoughts on the disintegration of the world, emptiness and nothingness, chaos and order, reality and illusion. In a basic sense, therefore, these are notes from ‘spiritual’ journeys, into the depths of the melancholy narrator’s consciousness. The writer used this formula in some pieces in Fado (2006), and then perfected it in ‘Dziennik pisany później’ (A Diary Written Later, 2010) and ‘Wschód’ (The East, 2014). In A Diary, he claimed to have given up travelling in the south of Europe, saying the Balkans no longer inspired him. He had new fodder for his imagination and thoughts: rural Poland, particularly seen in the yearning for consumption and folk religion in modern-day life. The issues seem even more pronounced in The East, which is only a tale of the East (geographically speaking) on the surface. Of course, Stasiuk mentions his journeys to Mongolia, China, the countries of Central Asia (including Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan), and especially the far east of Russia, but he is most concentrated on expressing and understanding his own genealogy and the fundamental experience of communism (in post-war Poland).

Before the publication of The East the author took another stab at the novel – he published  Taksim (2009), which recycled protagonists from Nine. The short novel Dojczland (2007) is also worth mentioning, describing the writer’s numerous professional stays in German-speaking countries (for paid book readings). Stasiuk’s work for the theatre on German or Austrian commissions occupy a special place: ‘Noc’ (Night, 2005), ‘Ciemny las’ (The Dark Woods, 2007) and ‘Czekając na Turka’ (Waiting for a Turk, 2009). Traditional in form (we might call them dramas for reading) they generally bring to life issues arising from communication between East and West; they show enduring national stereotypes, but also the strength of the mutual fascinations and complexes.

He has won many prestigious awards, including the Culture Foundation award (1994), the Kościelski Foundation for White Crow (1995), the Beata Pawlak Award (2004), the Nike Literary Award for On the Road to Babadag (2005) and numerous nominations, the Gdynia Literary Award (2010), the yearly Minister of Culture and National Heritage Award for 2011 in literature, the Austrian State Award in European literature (2016), the Wiesław Kazanecki Mayor of Białystok Litterary Award in 2021 in the book of the year category for ‘Przewóz’ (Shipment), the City of Warsaw Literary Award in the ‘prose’ category for The East (2015) and the Arkady Fiedler Amber Butterfly award for Fado (2007).
