Jan Galka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jan Galka (1975, Kiev, Ukraine) is an ethnic German writer and poet.
Jan Galka was born in 1975 close to the Ukrainian capital Kiev. He studied classical music and specialized in the fields of piano and singing.
He published his first books in 1994 in Samizdat in the Soviet tradition of dissident culture. Only scarce samples of his early writings can be still found on markets in Kiev. Galka is famous for criticizing post-Soviet society. He uses Ukrainian, Russian and German language mixed in a unusual, almost incomprehensible way. This is how he expresses and illustrates the lifestyle of the diaspora - the art of not understanding due to linguistic incompetencies is the core of his work.
It is not known where Galka works and lives.
