Publisher Description Examines a selection of post-1989 coming-of-age novels authored by the generation of Polish writers whose transition from adolescence to adulthood coincided with Polands transition from communism to liberal democracy.2016 CHOICE Outstanding Academic TitleThis volume is a study of approximately thirty coming-of-age Polish novels written by the so-called 89ers -- the generation who became adults just as Communist rule was ending. Narrating fictionalized childhoods in Poland in the 1970s and 80s and the transition to adulthood in the late 80s and early 90s, these novels depict the consequences of the fall of Communism for their protagonists maturation process. Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova argues that the liminal aspects of these narratives, in which the protagonists rites of passage remain suspended in important ways, reflect the effects of the cataclysmic events of the late 1980s as well as the ways in which, for the Polish 89ers, the clash with their predecessors did not produce the anticipated generational change in leadership. Instead, the elders refused to give up their leadership positions, whilethe young were stifled in their development and occupied marginal social spaces. In Vassileva-Karagyozovas fascinating account, these novels illuminate the authors attempts to define themselves as a generation as well as to narrate the sociocultural shift in democratic Poland from collectivism to Western-style individualism.Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova is associate professor of Slavic languages and literatures at the University of Kansas.
