Queer Transgressions in Twentieth-Century Polish Fiction: Gender, Nation, Politics - Paperback

by Jack J. B. Hutchens (Author)

This book analyzes the subversive power of twentieth-century Polish fiction, showing that it helped to undermine nationalist and homophobic ideologies that are still at play in Poland today. The author argues that the transgressive reading of Polish literature can challenge the many binaries that conservative, heteronormative ideology depends upon.
