Fat Thursday
February 11, 2018 “I’m glad this is possible between us. I’m proud of us! Maybe it’s strange, but I don’t feel any aversion to Daniel at all. Everything is OK! I didn’t remember him being so tall.

June 30, 2017 Hunting, somewhere at the foot of the Bieszczady Mountains on the Polish-Ukrainian border, the mid-1980s. I’m seven years old.

Dad … Continue reading A Lesson in Courage

Tears
May 28, 2017 An old photograph: I’m sitting on my mother’s lap. My eyes are brimming with tears. A moment earlier I’d fallen off my bike while racing down a hill in the neighbourhood.

Amity
April 24, 2017 “I find all communication with gay people pointless. […] I want to make it clear that homosexuals don’t interest me at all. The fact that you exist, and that there’s an increasing number of you, doesn’t change my worldview. I don’t want to think about any of you. I prefer to occupy … Continue reading Amity
