About this author

Jacek Dukaj is one of Poland’s most interesting contemporary prose writers, whose books are always eagerly anticipated events. Dukaj studied philosophy at the Jagiellonian University. He successfully debuted at the age of 16 with a short story Złota Galera (Golden Galley). He is known for the complexity of his books, and it is often said that a single short story of Dukaj contains more ideas than many other writers put into their books in their lifetime. Popular themes in his works include the technological singularity, nanotechnology and virtual reality, and because of this his books often can be classified as hard science fiction.


Jacek Dukaj isn't a Goodreads Author (yet), but he does have a blog, so here are some recent posts imported from his feed.

Na tegorocznym Polconie w Poznaniu powieść „Król Bólu i pasikonik " otrzymała Nagrodę Fandomu Polskiego im. Janusza A. Zajdla za rok 2010. Inny utwór Jacka Dukaja – „Piołunnik" – został wyróżniony nominacją w kategorii opowiadanie. Oba utwory wydano w zbiorze „Król Bólu".
