Gombrowicz's Grimaces: Modernism, Gender, Nationality

A variety of recent theoretical frameworksfrom poststructuralism to queer theory and postcolonialismare used to examine Gombrowicz's texts in the context of the current reappraisals of the mixed legacies of modernism. Essays discuss Gombrowicz's aesthetics and his philosophical interests; his exile in Argentina and France and how it informs his literary career; and the cultural implications of his philosophy of form for his critique of nationalism and the explorations of queer eroticism.
