Breaking Sexual Taboos in Contemporary Romanian Literature: Adrian Schiop’s "Zero Grade Kelvin"
Abstract
This paper tries to analyse some of the interpretational keys of Zero grade Kelvin, a novel written by Romanian young novelist Adrian Schiop, thanks to which the topic of homosexuality was introduced in the Romanian literary market in an uncensored and brutal way. The eroticism represented by Schiop in the book lacks of positive elements, the sexual relationships of the lonely main male character are marked by a constant search of lovers and dissatisfaction.
