Zbójnickie fantazje Pawła Łyska
Paweł Łysek’s Brigand Fantasies

Summary/Abstract: The text examines the works of Paweł Łysek, focusing in particular on the novel Jano i jego zbójniccy kamraci (1977), the short story collection Przy granicy (1966), and the memoirs Z Istebnej w świat (1960) and Poszło na marne (1965). Drawing, among other sources, on Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephens’s Ecosex Manifesto and Michał Smolorz’s Śląsk wymyślony, the author offers a queer and ecoqueer reinterpretation of Łysek’s prose, exploring both the protagonists’ intense relationships with the natural environment of the Beskid Mountains and the nonbinary, queer character of the borderland region of the Silesian Beskids.
