Polish writer and screen writer, born on 9 September 1984 in Gladyszow. He majored in cultural studies at the Warsaw University. Nahacz belonged to the so-called 'new generation'. In 2003, at the age of eighteen, he published his first novel Osiem Cztery (in English "Eight Four"). In the same year he was awarded the Natalia Gall and the Ryszard Pollak Literary Fund Award and moved to Warsaw. His next book, Bombel (2004), received critical acclaim (critics called him "a voice of the generation"). In 2005, he wrote "Bocian and Lola" (2005). His last book titled Niezwykłe przygody Roberta Robura (2009), was finished just days before his disappearance in July 2007. He admitted that in his writing he was influenced by the literature of Céline, Hrabal, Burroughs and Pynchon.

After the debut in 2003, he was writing monthly a column to the Filipinka magazine and cooperated with the Lampa magazine. He was the co-author of the screen-play "Egzamin z Życia" ('The exam of a life') broadcast on channel TVP2 of Polish Public Television.

On July 24, 2007, he was found dead in the basement of his Warsaw flat. He had disappeared and committed suicide a few days earlier. He was almost 23 years old.
