Reply to comment by StrawberryFields_ in Hidden gems by Spookykinkyboi

That's a surprising pick. I'd assume that his works don't resonate with English readers as much as with polish. But he's my favourite writer tho

Mine too. So I try to mention him as much as possible.

I tend to avoid mentioning him in international discussion, bc first I don't know how good are the translations (and I can imagine he's really hard to translate) and second - I think he might be too hermetic to people of other nationalities. At least in novels, because his Diaries should be easier to appreciate.

But overall I must say that polish literature has a lot of gems, that most likely will never be translated.
