Andrzej Bart (born 1951 in Wrocław, Poland) is a Polish novelist, screenwriter and film director. He is called the Polish Thomas Pynchon because he prefers people talk about his books and films but leave him alone.
Andrzej Bart devoted his young years to writing a novel Rien ne va plus This epic story of Poland and Poles, seen through a foreigner’s eyes, couldn't be published for a long time because of political reasons. Published in 1991, it was immediately awarded the Kościelski Award. Subsequently, three editions of the book were published in Poland.
In Pociąg do podróży, (1999, The Travel Bug), the writer follows two underdogs, a Jew and a German, who are sent back in time to the year 1900 to kill the young Adolf Hitler. Their eccentric travel serves as a pretext to examine the innocence of Europe before it experienced two world-wide wars.
Under the pseudonym Paul Scarron Jr., he published the metaphysical mystery novel Piąty jeździec Apokalipsy (1999, The Fifth Rider of Apocalypse).
