Męskość zdekonstruowana i dorastanie do heteropatriarchatu w powieści „Drzewo krwi” Kim de l’Horizon
Deconstructing Masculinity and Coming of Age in Hetero-Patriarchy in Kim de l’Horizon’s „Blutbuch”

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes Blutbuch, the debut novel by Swiss non-binary author Kim de l’Horizon, as a multidimensional reflection on the impact of heteropatriarchal structures and the accompanying violence and trauma on family relationships and the experiences of a non-normative child. Particular attention is paid to the literary representation of the process of discovering the body and gender and forming queer, fluid identities. The analysis highlights the novel’s engagement with transgenerational trauma and the ways in which silenced histories of violence shape family dynamics and individual subjectivities. The article also explores how autofiction functions here as a narrative strategy of reclaiming one’s story, confronting tabooed experiences of pain and oppression, and creating space for queer voices excluded from heteropatriarchal discourse.
