Jak ogromne mroczne świerszcze. O watykańskiej „dylogii” (Spiżowa brama i Urząd) Tadeusza Brezy
Just Like Dark Huge Crickets. On Tadeusz Breza’s Vatican “Duology” (Spiżowa brama and Urząd)
Author(s): Ewa GraczykSubject(s): Polish Literature

Keywords: Vatican; homosexuality; pre‑emancipatory homosexual literature
Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on Tadeusz Breza’s (1905–1970) two texts published in 1960: Spiżowa brama, a literary reportage, and Urząd, a novel. The latter work is analysed in the context of the former in order to demonstrate that both texts might be treated as a partly concealed story of the undisclosed homosexual desire infiltrating the Catholic Church. Moreover, the writer’s attitude to communism is yet another issue encoded in Urząd.
