Birutė Jonuškaitė

Debut of Birutė Jonuškaitė took place when Lithuania got back its independence. As a writer she found her place in these unquiet, but critical times: today she is appreciated author of stories and novels, journal articles, and distinguished translator from Polish language.

She was not a shooting star among the constellation of young Lithuanian writers, instead she was developing her gift gradually and consequently, producing books that were appraised by the critics and noticed by award-givers.
