BIO
Born on 16 December 1976 in Opinogóra. In 1981, he and his parents moved to Sandomierz. He completed his advanced secondary education at the Collegium Gostomianum Grammar School No. I in Sandomierz in 1995. Between 1995 and 2000, he studied Polish philology at the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin. In 1997/98, he co-edited the literary periodical "Nowa Próba", published at the Institute of Polish Philology at UMCS. He made his debut there (issue no. 1) in 1997 with the short story Zostanę dalej (I will remain) and the poem Wieczorami, tylko wieczorami (In the evenings, only in the evenings). In 2005, he defended his doctoral thesis Problematyka poznania w twórczości Stanisława Lema (The question of knowledge in the works of Stanisław Lem) at UMCS. He was supervised by Prof. Maria Jolanta Woźniakiewicz-Dziadosz. He made his debut in the journal "Pamiętnik Literacki" in 2006 with the article Umysł i nauka wobec chaosu historii w „Czasie nieutraconym” Stanisława Lema (The mind and science in the context of the chaos of history in Stanisław Lem's Time Not Wasted) (vol. 2). The same year, he also made his debut as a translator with a Polish version of Joni Oeltjenbrus' book Where is God? (Polish: Gdzie jest Bóg?). In subsequent years, he produced further translations from English, including children's literature and works in literary theory. In 2014, he started volunteering with organizations caring for stray cats, initially the Poznan Animal Shelter followed by various foundations providing support to cats. In 2016, he was awarded the Gdynia LIterary Prize for porse and the Prize of the Kościelski Foundation for his debut collection of short stories, Skoruń. In 2018, he received the Angelus Central European Literary Prize and the N. Gorbaniewska Readers' Prize in recognition of his novel Robinson w Bolechowie (Robinson in Bolechów). He moved to Poznan in 2004.
