Biography
Hutsalo was born in Staryi Zhyvotiv, Vinnytsia oblast. He graduated from the Nizhyn Pedagogical Institute in 1959, and was first published in 1960. During the 1960s, Hutsalo was considered one of the "shestydesyatnyky" (the sixtiers), or those who were opposed to the oppressive communist regime.Ivan Koshelivets. [http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?AddButton=pages\S\H\ShistdesiatnykyIT.htm Shistdesiatnyky] at the Encyclopedia of Ukraine. However, later on he chose to be an official writer rather than one opposed to the regime.Ivan Koshelivets. [http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?AddButton=pages\H\U\HutsaloYevhen.htm Hutsalo, Yevhen] at the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.
He published over 25 novella and short-story collections (several of them for children), a trilogy of novels, and three poetry collections. His works are noted for their detail, lyrical descriptions of nature, psychological portraits, and abundant use of the rural vernacular.
In 1985 Hutsalo was awarded the Shevchenko Prize and in 1994 the Antonovych prize.
In (Ukraine's capital) Kyiv a lane dedicated to Field Marshal of the Russian Empire Mikhail Kutuzov was renamed after Yevhen Hutsalo in 2016.{{in lang|uk}} [https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2021/04/22/7291176/ Bandera Avenue in Kyiv to be - the decision of the Court of Appeal], Ukrayinska Pravda (22 April 2021)
