About Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski
Set in early 1980s Poland as communism declines, Tomasz Jedrowski’s novel follows the first love of Ludwik and Janusz, two young men whose relationship unfolds under the pressures of a repressive society. A summer agricultural camp brings them together; back in Warsaw, their private bond is tested by their increasingly different political choices.
Blending intimate romance with the politics and history of communist-era Poland, Swimming in the Dark considers love, freedom, and the costs of living at odds with social expectations. It will suit readers of literary and queer fiction, as well as those interested in personal lives shaped by political upheaval.
