Gunnar

Not much can be definitively said of the pseudonymous writer “Gunnar,” other than that they wrote and published poetry, prose, and essay from the 1960s onward. Based on archives and my own investigations, Gunnar’s writing was published in the magazine Der Kreis, a monthly Swiss publication for homosexual men which featured art, literature, journalism, and reviews, and later anthologies of work from the magazine. Though we may never know Gunnar’s true identity, it is my hope that this work will further illuminate the rich history of queer experience and literature in Europe.
