Jurgis Kunčinas

Jurgis Kunčinas (13 January 1947 in Alytus, Lithuania – 13 December 2002) was a poet, novelist, translator and essayist. He has been described as the chronicler of Soviet bohemianism, who poeticized the individual's internal autonomy as an alternative to the absurdity of social life. His works, originally published in the Lithuanian language, have been translated into English, German, Russian, Estonian, Belarusian, Swedish, and Polish. His 1996 compilation of essays, Laba diena, pone Enrike!, received an award from the city of Vilnius.
