What is the state of Polish culture abroad? Our literature used to be known around the world. Lem, Miłosz, Mrożek, Kapuściński, Gombrowicz. But in those times Poland was seen as an exotic country from behind the Iron Curtain and is literature was a sign of rebelling against the communist regime. Today we are only a country on the dead end of Europe. Is the world interested in our literature and why is this interest so weak? Stasiuk, Tokarczuk, Masłowska, these are the authors translated into other languages. Will there be others?MA in Art History at Warsaw University. Cultural manager and art critic.
