Summary/Abstract: Georgi Gospodinov is one of the most translated Bulgarian writers after 1989. Magda Pytlak points to the change in the reception of Bulgarian literature in Poland using two indicators of his success — literary awards and a renowned publishing house which published The Physics of Sorrow in 2018. The article presents the reception of Georgi Gospodinov’s work in Poland in chronological order and takes into account various genres of Gospodinov’s work (in the press, in anthologies, and as separate books), the role of his translators, the writer’s public appearances and their press reception. One of the elements of his showcase in Poland is his friendship with Olga Tokarczuk, regarded as an aspiration for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
