Jurgis Kunčinas (13 January 1947 in Alytus, Lithuania – 13 December 2002) was a poet, novelist, translator and essayist.[1] He has been described as the chronicler of Soviet bohemianism, who poeticized the individual's internal autonomy as an alternative to the absurdity of social life.[2] His works, originally published in the Lithuanian language, have been translated into English, German, Russian, Estonian, Belarusian, Swedish, and Polish.[1]

Kunčinas received the Lithuanian Writers Union' prize in 1994 for the novel Tūla, set largely in Vilnius's Užupis district.[1][3] His 1996 compilation of essays, Laba diena, pone Enrike!, received an award from the city of Vilnius.[1] The public library in his hometown Alytus has been renamed after him and holds a biennial literary festival in his memory.[4]
