Anna Arno, born in 1984, is the author of the short story collection "Okna" and several biographies. For her poetic debut, she received the Zeszyty Literackie award. She graduated in art history from New York University and currently lives in Krakow. Her work is characterized by insight, poetic flair, and the ability to connect personal experiences with a broader social and cultural context. Arno does not idealize, does not ironize, does not document. She perceives beauty, is fully aware of imperfection, but above all, she is not afraid of the confession: in my country, I even like what I don't like.

The book "This Country" is a literary journey that takes the reader through the streets of big cities, gray housing estates, and roadside chapels. Arno, with the insight of an art historian, looks at national monuments and her own places, combining the universal with her own. With poetic flair, she tells about springs tasting of strawberries and the smell of the school cloakroom, interweaving the symbolic with the real. Like each of us, she has her own story, which fits into the fate of a generation and modern society with its complexes, achievements, and still unfulfilled dreams.

"This Country" is not only a collection of observations and reflections, but also an attempt to understand one's own identity and place in the world. Arno is not afraid to address difficult topics, but she does so with delicacy and empathy. Her book is an invitation to dialogue and reflection on one's own life and the reality that surrounds us. It is a read that will surely be remembered long after it is finished.
