Why Poland?

I hope to write more on this as time allows, but for the moment please accept the following quote from one of my favorite authors in the past year, Andrzej Stasiuk:

"I haven't been to France or Spain and I've never thought about going there. I am simply interested in our part of the world, this central and eastern reality. My goodness, what would I be doing in France?"

Stasiuk lives and writes in the Beskid Mountains in southeastern Poland, near the Slovak border.
