Swimming in the Dark is a 2020 novel by Polish writer Tomasz Jędrowski. This novel was subject to a "hotly contested" six-way publishing auction,[1] from which Bloomsbury gained rights. After being first published in English by Bloomsbury in February, Robert Sudół's translation was released in Poland later in the month. The writer’s debut novel, it is a gay love story set in the closing years of the Polish People's Republic. It received praise for both its quality of writing[2][3] and compelling story[1] as well as its tactful treatment of its LGBTQ themes.[4][5] It received at least one starred review from Publishers Weekly,[6] and was later longlist-nominated for the HWA Debut Crown.[7]
