Lubiewo by Tomasz Witkowski

Set against the backdrop of post-communist Poland, this novel delves into the lives of two aging gay men who reminisce about their youth and the vibrant, clandestine world of the LGBTQ+ community during the oppressive regime. Through a series of candid and often humorous conversations, the protagonists reflect on their past escapades, the evolution of societal norms, and the bittersweet nostalgia of a bygone era. The narrative offers a poignant exploration of identity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of those who dared to live authentically in a time of repression.
