A series of virtual meetings with Polish literature at the Polish Institute in New York
The Polish Institute in New York has prepared a series of virtual meetings with Polish literature "Encounters with Polish Literature". The first episode was devoted to the book "Being Poland. A New History of Polish Literature and Culture since 1918," a history of Polish literature in English that was published in Canada in 2018, edited by Tamara Trojanowska, Joanna Nizynska, and Przemyslaw Czaplinski.
Being Poland... is a cross-sectional presentation of literary and cultural history, and its purpose is to describe the long-term processes occurring in the field. In addition to the classic genres, essay, journal, reportage, and film are also included. The book is divided into four parts: Transitions, Strategies, Transmissions, and Genres and Their Discontents.
Subsequent episodes of the "Encounters with Polish Literature" series will be devoted to Witkacy, Gombrowicz, Szymborska, Różewicz, and Schulz.
You can read more about the series on the Institute's website.
