## Career[edit]

In 2003, at the age of eighteen, Nahacz published his first novel Osiem Cztery (Eight Four). That same year he wrote monthly a column to the Filipinka magazine and cooperated with the Lampa magazine, and was awarded the Natalia Gall and the Ryszard Pollak Literary Fund Award and moved to Warsaw. His next book, Bombel (2004), received critical acclaim, with critics calling him "a voice of the generation".

In 2005, Nahacz wrote Bocian and Lola (2005). His last book titled Niezwykłe przygody Roberta Robura (2009), was finished just days before his disappearance in July 2007.[1]

Nahacz stated that his writing was influenced by the literature of Céline, Hrabal, Burroughs and Pynchon.[citation needed]
