Autorenporträt
Stefan Żeromski (1864-1925) was born near Kielce, Poland into a family that was aristocratic but not wealthy. He was a great lover of landscape; imagery from his home region, which included the Holy Cross Mountains, is prominent in his work. He was employed briefly in a famous spa town that was the model for the spa in The Homeless before he became a librarian. He led many social and educational movements that pushed back against restrictions imposed by the powers that occupied Poland before World War I. At one time he and his wife hosted an orphanage and an underground Polish school in their home. In the 1920s Żeromski was a leading contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Distinguished in his own time and known as "the conscience of Polish literature," he was deeply mourned on his death in 1925. Stephanie Kraft is the author of No Castles on Main Street and the translator of two Polish novels, Stone Tablets by Wojciech Żukrowski and Marta by Eliza Orzeszkowa (with co-translator Anna Gąsienica-Byrcyn). She was a newspaper reporter and freelance writer for forty years and travelled annually to Poland for more than thirty years. Jennifer Croft is an author, critic, and translator. She won the Man Booker International Prize for her translation from Polish of Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk's Flights and a Guggenheim Fellowship for her novel The Extinction of Irena Rey. Boris Dralyuk is a poet, translator, and critic. He is the author of My Hollywood and Other Poems (Paul Dry Books, 2022) and won a National Book Critics Circle award for his translation of Andrey Kurkov's Grey Bees.
