Tuszyńska AgataBorn in Warsaw in 1957, Tuszynska graduated from the State Theatre School in Warsaw. She is a historian of literature and the theatre, poet, and reporter who has won the Polish PEN Club Ksawery Pruszynski Prize. Tuszynska is a versatile writer. She has published several collections of poetry. She also written literary biographies of the modernist Warsaw actress Maria Wisnowska and of Isaac Bashevis Singer (Landscapes of Memory). She also edited the memoirs of one of the most interesting figures in Poland between the wars, Irena Krzywicka, who was a writer, journalist, and companion of the satirist Tadeusz Boy-Zelenski (Confessions of a Scandalous Woman). Tuszynska edited the memoirs of the eminent professor of medicine Hilary Koprowski, who spent his adult life in the USA (To Win Each Day). Agata Tuszynska can boast of success in every field where she has tried her hand. Her books have been promoted by such Polish cultural figures as Wiktor Woroszylski, Father Jan Twardowski, and Ryszard Kapuscinski. They have evoked the interest of readers for years. Two issues deserve special mention. One is the way that Tuszynska combines scholarship with popular appeal. On the basis of well-founded facts, she develops fictions, suppositions, and situations that may not necessarily be true but are always plausible. The second is her tasteful, scrupulously detailed narrative language. She carefully deploys each metaphor, the length of phrases, the suspension of the narrative voice. She is in control of everything, like a talented actor conscious of her craft.
