Abstract

The article examines Natalia Osińska’s Fanfik [Fanfic] (2016) and Slash (2017) as examples of the implementation of a new model of the young adult coming-of-age novel in Poland. The text presents a short review of the state of research on the presence of non-heteronormative characters in Polish literature, especially in literature intended for the young audience. Osińska’s works are then analysed in terms of gender and sexuality, which is accompanied by an attempt to show the meaning of these categories to the plot of the novel. Due to the problems undertaken by the author of the text, tools related to LGBT studies and, in particular, transgender studies, are used.

Keywords:
