Slawomir Mrozek

Author

Slawomir Mrozek was born in Borzecin, Poland, in 1930. 1957 saw the publication of his first book entitled ›Slon‹ (›The Elephant‹), a collection of satirical short stories. This was followed by works such as ›Tango‹, ›The Emigrants‹ and ›Striptease‹, which made him world famous. In 1968 he went into exile, living many years in Paris and later in Mexico. In 1996 he returned to Poland but now lives in the South of France.

»The author, known primarily as a playwright, reveals himself as a writer of incisive prose who captures the absurdity of reality and its interaction with unreality in polished, witty formulations.« Neue Zürcher Zeitung
