The Wesoła Library warmly invites you to a special author meeting with Paweł Sołtys — a writer, musician and one of the most original contemporary creators of Polish short prose. The author will talk about his writing process, inspirations, everyday observation of the world and how he turns ordinary situations into moving literary miniatures.
During the meeting, participants will have the opportunity to learn about the behind-the-scenes of creative work, ask questions and talk with the author about his latest projects. An important part of the conversation will be his newest book Monolok, in which Sołtys once again delights with his sensitivity to detail, linguistic precision and empathy for human stories.
After the conversation there will be time for autographs and short, individual conversations with the writer.
Paweł Sołtys — musician, songwriter. As Pablopavo he has released a dozen or so albums and played around fifteen hundred concerts. He studied Russian studies (did not complete the degree). His short stories have appeared in Lampa, Rita Baum, Studium, Notatnik Literacki and Twórczość. For his prose debut Mikrotyki he received the Marek Nowakowski Literary Award, the Gdynia Literary Award, was a finalist for the Nike Literary Award and was nominated for the Polityka Passport, the Cyprian Kamil Norwid Award and the Witold Gombrowicz Literary Award. For his second book Nieradość he received a nomination for the Cyprian Kamil Norwid Award and was also among the nominees for the Julian Tuwim Literary Award awarded for lifetime achievement. In 2024 his third prose book Sierpień was published, for which he received a nomination for the m.st. Warsaw Literary Award and reached the final of the Nike Literary Award.
