Miron Bialoszewski (1922–1983)
Författare till A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising
Om författaren
Miron Bialoszewski, one of the most innovative writers in post World War II Polish literature, wrote poetry, plays, and autobiographical prose. He had difficulties accepting the norms of socialist realism and spent most of his early career in destitution as a dissident. His first volume of poems, visa mer The Revolution of Things, appeared in 1956. Deliberately provocative in its use of grotesque imagery, it had a considerable impact. His next book, Erroneous Emotions (1961), was radically antipoetic in its choice and use of words and sounds. Bialoszewski published two more collections of poetry in addition to plays and several books of prose, one of which, A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising (1970), describes the horrors of the ill-fated battle seen through the eyes of the nonheroic civilians. Though an experimenter, Bialoszewski contributed to Polish literature primarily by stressing everyday reality in both the material world and human interrelations. Bialoszewski died in 1984.

- Miron Białoszewski, born in Warsaw, was a high school student at the outbreak of World War II. He went on to study linguistics in secret at the clandestine courses of the University of Warsaw. On August 1, 1944, he went out to run an errand for his mother and ran into the Warsaw Uprising. With the Red Army arriving the outskirts of the city, Warsaw had erupted into revolt against the Nazis, but was ultimately defeated. He was sent to a forced labor camp but survived and returned to Warsaw at the end of the war. He worked at the Main Post Office and then as a journalist for a number of newspapers and popular magazines, some of them for children. In 1955, he co-founded a small experimental theatre, Teatr na Tarczyńskiej, at which he produced and acted in his plays, including Wiwisekcja and Osmędeusze. He also became one of Poland's most innovative poets. In 1970, he published his acclaimed memoir, Pamiętnik z powstania warszawskiego (Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising). He followed with several novels, including Donosy rzeczywistości (Denunciations of Reality, 1973), Szumy, zlepy, ciągi (Rustlings, Lumps and Pathways, 1976), Zawał (Heart Attack, 1977) and Rozkurz (Wasted, 1980). Obmapywanie Europy (Mapping Europe) and AAAmeryka, published posthumously, provide descriptions of his travels across Europe and the USA. He lived for many years with the painter Leszek Soliński.
