Body, Clothes, Desire is a riveting introduction to the work of Gabriela Zapolska, a writer who has almost been forgotten, but was the first to turn "the women's skirt into a banner" in Poland. Her courageous interpretations, exact observations and, finally, Klosinska's talent as an author make the power of her work comparable to that of Julia Kristeva or Luce Irigary.
"I haven't read a book that was so intellectually stimulating for a long time. I actually devoured it, and each chapter whetted my appetite anew." (Maria Janion)
In 2000, this book was nominated for the NIKE, the most eminent Polish literary award.
Krystyna Kłosińska is chiefly interested in prose from the end of the nineteenth century and feminist criticism.
