Abstract
The chapter offers an overview of Polish translingual writing i.e. literature wrriten by Poles in an acquired foreign language which is different from their mother tongue. Poland is widely believed to be a monolithic country with one language of literary creation, a view reinforced by the Communist government after the Second World War and the nationalistic politics of memory. This chapter demonstrates that this view is a myth. While it is not possible to establish clear motives behind every writer's language choice, this chapter provides an overview of selected patterns that can be distniguished eithin the historical and literary periods, and within clusters of writers conditioned by similar circumstances.
