520 |a In one of the first scholarly books in English on Miron Białoszewski (1922-1983), the author illuminates the elusive prose of one of the most compelling and challenging postwar Polish writers. This study introduces English-language readers to a preeminent voice of Polish literature. The author explores how a fusion of seemingly irreconcilable qualities, such as the traumatic and the everyday, imbues Białoszewski's writing with its idiosyncratic appeal. Białoszewski's A Memoir of the Warsaw Uprising (1977, revised 1991) describes the Poles' heroic struggle to liberate Warsaw from Nazi occupation in 1944 as harrowing yet ordinary. His later prose represents everyday life permeated by traces of the traumatic. The author closely examines the topic of autobiography and homosexuality, showing how Białoszewski discloses his homosexuality but, paradoxically, renders it inconspicuous by hiding it in plain sight.
