Andrzej Stasiuk, born in 1960 in Warsaw, ranks among postcommunist Poland’s most successful cultural exports. His novels and his persona have achieved cult status both in Poland and elsewhere, especially in Ukraine and the Balkans. Despite only one reading tour of North America, in 2010, Stasiuk is a relatively familiar name in the United States, specifically in academia. Indeed, no syllabus for a college course on postcommunist European fiction would be complete without at least one work by Stasiuk on it—most often, the novelTales of Galiciaor collections of essays/stories such asFado or My Europeare included.
