André Gide’s Creativity (“Corydon,” “Les Faux-Monnayeurs” <“The Counterfaiters”>) in Polish Inter-War Literature

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the influence of André Gide’s creativity over the mode of homosexuality representation in Polish Inter-war literature. It discusses literary pieces (S. I. Witkiewicz’s “Pożegnanie jesieni <Farewell to Autumn>”), political commentary journalism (T. Boy-Żeleński), and correspondence (P. Hertz, J. Iwaszkiewicz). The second part of the sketch offers an insightful interpretation of Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz’s short story entitled “Przyjaciele (Friends)” as a breakthrough story for Iwaszkiewicz’s poetics and also as that which heavily relies on inspirations by Gide’s “Les Faux-monnayeurs (The Counterfaiters)” of which Iwaszkiewicz was the translator.
