- W1534241305 abstract "An unemployed émigré writer sits in his cockroach-infested apartment in New York and reminisces, not without irony, about an anti-American exhibition he saw in his native Poland: The exhibit was meant to evoke horror, disgust, and hatred. It had, however, the opposite effect. Thousands of Varsovians, dressed in their holiday best, waiting everyday in lines as long as those to see Lenin’s Tomb and in solemn silence looked at the display, listened respectfully to the boogie-woogie, wanting in this way, at least, to manifest their blind and hopeless love for the United States. (Glowacki: 103) The situation of the Polish émigré in Janusz Glowacki’s play Hunting Cockroaches embodies the complexities of exile and the ambivalence of “America” as a space one longs to reach. The world of Glowacki’s protagonist encompasses a wide spectrum of the exilic phenomenon covered by the works in this collection. On the one hand, there is internal exile and an almost pleasurable dream of the remote and happier place — the ‘America’ of the exilic imaginary. On the other hand is the reality of physical exile in America that involves its politics, its economics, and its survival strategies. In both instances, albeit from different ends, ‘America’ is constructed through interplays, contrasts, and clashes between an immigrant’s desire and actual experience, each of which helps to shape a communal body of the marginalized and of the displaced, that we will here name the exilic collective." @default.
