They've announced that Książka twarzy by Marek Bieńczyk has been awarded the Nike Nagroda Literacka -- the leading Polish literary prize [via].
See also the PAP report, Poland's top literary award goes to essayist Marek Bieńczyk, which notes:
Bieńczyk's Tworki is under review at the complete review, and Dalkey Archive Press recently brought out his Transparency -- which is probably a lot closer to the prize-winning title; see the Dalkey publicity page, or get your copy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. (I found Transparency interesting, but haven't gotten around reviewing it; it is a bit ... diffuse.)
