Bydgoszcz Literary Triangle: An EKG of a Career – A Meeting with Maciej Siembieda

Moderator: Ewa Krupa

Maciej Siembieda – writer, journalist, and one of Poland’s most popular authors of thriller novels. Before he began writing novels, he was a reporter conducting historical investigations; he published, among others, in *Polityka* and the Paris-based *Kultura*. He made his literary debut at the age of 56. He is the author of, among other works, a series of novels featuring Jakub Kania, an expert in historical investigations (444, *Place and Name*, *Vow*, *Puppets*, *Lullaby*, *Orient*, *Sobowtór*, *Upiór*), as well as a Polish-Greek trilogy (*Katharsis*, *Nemezis*, *Kairos*). In his books, he masterfully incorporates elements of true stories, giving them a suspenseful framework and pace, which makes him one of the most original figures in Polish crime and suspense literature. The author’s hallmarks include writing with a fountain pen and collecting historical curiosities in his famous notebooks. He also shares his journalistic and historical discoveries on the video podcast “Biuro Historii Zaginionych” (The Office of Lost History), available on Radio ZET’s YouTube channel. Nominated for the 2026 Nike Literary Award. Three-time winner of the so-called Polish Pulitzer, i.e., the Polish Journalists’ Association Award. Three-time winner of the Wielki Kalibru Award, two-time winner of the Lubimyczytać.pl Book of the Year title, and recipient of Onet’s “O!Lśnienia” Award in the field of literature. Ten of his books are set to be adapted for the screen.
