Throughout the twentieth century in Poland various ideologies
attempted to keep queer voices silent-whether those ideologies were
fascist, communist, Catholic, or neo-liberal. Despite these
pressures, there existed a vibrant, transgressive trend within
Polish literature that subverted such silencing. This book provides
in-depth textual analyses of several of those texts, covering
nearly every decade of the last century, and includes authors such
as Witold Gombrowicz, Marian Pankowski, and Olga Tokarczuk, winner
of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature. Jack J. B. Hutchens
demonstrates the subversive power of each work, showing that
through their transgressions they help to undermine nationalist and
homophobic ideologies that are still at play in Poland today.
Hutchens argues that the transgressive reading of Polish literature
can challenge the many binaries on which conservative,
heteronormative ideology depends in order to maintain its cultural
hegemony.
