Swedish edition of Marek Hłasko’s works
The titles of Hlasko’s works in Swedish published by the Prosak publishing house read: ‘Veckans åttonde dag’, ‘Gravplatser’, and ‘Vackra tjugoåringar’. Prosak plans to publish two more volumes of Hlasko’s works in Swedish.
Marek Hłasko needs no introduction to Polish readers – a prematurely deceased Polish prose writer of the 1950s and 1960s, whose major works include the short story collection Pierwszy krok w chmurach (“The First Step in the Clouds”), the short story The Eighth Day of the Week, the novel Następny do raju (“Next Stop – Paradise”), and the autobiographical prose Beautiful Twentysomethings.
We would like to note that the Sejm has established 2024 as the Year of Marek Hłasko.
