Titled Gottland: Exploding Stalin and Other True Tales from the Heart of Europe, it is published by Linden Editions in a translation by Antonia Lloyd-Jones.
According to the publisher's note, in Gottland, Szczygieł "travels to the Czech Republic to explore the surreal fictions and the extraordinary reality of its 20th century.
"From the small businessman who adopted Henry Ford's ideas on productivity to create the world's largest shoe company to the innovatism of Kafka's niece in loaning her name to writers blacklisted under the Communist regime, Gottland is a kaleidoscopic portrait of a resilient people living through difficult and often bizarre times."
The blurb describes the book as "elegantly and comically written, equal parts funny, disturbing, stirring and absurd."
Szczygieł is visiting London this week to meet readers, with two events planned: at the city's Front Line Club on Friday and at the Wimbledon BookFest on Sunday.
At the latter event, he will be in conversation with Turkish-Kurdish author Burhan Sönmez.
First published in Poland in 2006, Gottland has been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Its first English-language edition, also translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, was published in 2014 by Melville House in the United States.
Among the characters featured in the book are Franz Kafka's niece, the sculptor who created the world's largest statue of Stalin, iconic pop singer Karel Gott, and the Bata brothers, founders of the famous shoe empire.
Szczygieł, 60, is regarded as one of the leading representatives of the Polish school of reportage. Sometimes dubbed a Czechophile, he has written extensively about Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.
His numerous honours include the European Book Prize.
Last year, Linden Editions published Szczygieł's collection of essays Not There, which earned him the Nike Award, Poland’s top literary prize, in 2019.
In the book, the author talks to a Czech poet, a Ukrainian soldier, a Polish accountant, an Albanian painter and an Israeli writer, among other interlocutors.
