Krystyna Nepomucka
, 1920 - 2015
Studied medicine, arts, Polish literature and management. As a writer, she made her debut in 1945 in the Upper Silesian press, but in the radio broadcast Wspomnienia Krystyny Nepomuckiej [Krystyna Nepomucka’s Memories], prepared by Bogumiła Prządka, she says factiously that she wrote her first book at the age of three. Author of over 30 novels and numerous articles, Krystyna Nepomucka is currently considered one of the important Polish women authors in the 20th century. She also worked as an editor for the Western Press Agency and for the Polish Radio, but owes her popularity and recognition to a series of books entitled Niedoskonałości i doskonałości [Im- perfections and Perfections] launched by the novel Małżeństwo niedoskonałe [Imperfect Marriage], 1960.
