Abstract

The article compares the novels "Playboy" and "Love Me Tender" by Constance Debré and "Permafrost" and "Boulder" by Eva Baltasar to show the relational aspect of queer antimaternalism and the figuration of queerness through nomadism that allows for the resignification of motherhood as kinship. It analyzes the novels' revelation of anxiety about homonormalization, the appropriation of masculine gay imaginary of nomads, and parental bonding through the alliance of queer adults and children.
