Aleksander Kościów
Aleksander Kościów (b. 1974) is a composer and viola-player. He lectures in counter-point composition and musical theory at the Warsaw Academy of Music.
Kościów debuted in 2006 with the novel “Swiat nura” ( The World of the Diver ) and instantly showed himself to be an uncommonly mature writer, gifted with a rare kind of imagination, who already in his first book proved capable of creating an original and complete world. The World of the Diver is a multilayered, Chinese box of a novel, combining elements of pulp and high-brow fiction, fantasy and realism. His second novel “Przepros” (Apologise) poses some important questions about the nature of the world we happen to live in and about major life choices and their dependency on common sense and reason or maybe intuition.
