Jan Galka

Jan Galka

Jan Galka (1975, Kiev, Ukraine) is an ethnic German writer and poet.

Jan Galka was born in 1975 near 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 an 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.
