Przemysław Czapliński, Maciej Leciński, Eliza Szybowicz, Błażej WarkockiAn Almanac of Literary Life, 1976-2000
An Almanac of Literary Life, 1976-2000 is an invaluable compendium for anyone seeking information about interesting developments in Polish literature over the past quarter of a century. It documents literary events from the polemic surrounding Tadeusz Konwicki’s The Calendar and the Obituary through to debates on Stefan Chwin’s Esther and Piotr Siemion’s Low Meadows, from disputes about the poetry of the 1968 generation and the revolution that took place in prose in the 1970s, through to the discussion of “high style” instigated by Adam Zagajewski and the controversy surrounding the work of writers born in the 1970s. It covers the most important works of literature, debates and arguments, provides information on how various books were received by the critics and on literary prizes, festivals, public appearances by writers and literary journals. It also includes media coverage of literature within the new marketing situation, and data on the publishing market, with information on the circulation of books and periodicals and the nature of their readership.The Almanac’s clear structure, supplementary tables and indexes make it an essential tool for anyone who, either for professional reasons or purely out of personal interest, wants insight into modern Polish literature.
