The discussion of queer identity has been present in academic discourse for a considerable time, and while the body of scholarly work on this subject continues to grow, new perspectives on this field of study are also introduced by literary works. Among the examples of literature concerned with queer identity is Ukrainian-Canadian literature, which, however, still remains largely outside of scholarly research and interest in both Europe and Canada. The same refers to the topic of queer identity presented in this writing as its analysis has also been neglected by critics. Thus, my project will be devoted to the study of queer identity as discussed in the works of Marusya Bociurkiw, who is, so far, the only Ukrainian-Canadian writer publishing works that concern this aspect. Moreover, my analysis of Bociurkiw’s queer writings will be included within a comparative study that will also cover an example of Ukrainian queer literature, so that a wider view on the idea of queer identity, as presented from both European and North American literary perspectives, is given.
