Clouding the Horizon: Nationalism and Queer Utopias in Michael Chabon’s Kavalier & Clay
Michael Chabon’s novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay takes place around the era of World War II, a time when instilling American national unity was a greater priority than ever before. The novel, with its careful exploration and imagination of a queer relationship between Sammy Clay and Tracy Bacon, has much to say regarding queerness, its status in the future realm, and the timeless nature of its struggle for normalization.
