Neil Bartlett enters a post-communist world in which gays hanker after the bad old days;
“If the official narrative of gay men’s lives over the last 50 years has been that of liberation and assimilation, then the unofficial storyline – shrieked in 1,000 bars, whispered in 1,000 cruising grounds – has been an equal and opposite one, celebrating the pleasures, energies and sheer indestructibility of unreconstructed queendom. And the queens in this first novel from Polish author Michal Witkowski, originally published in 2005, are as unreconstructed as they come.”
