Teddy Wayne’s 2016 Loner tells the story of a Harvard freshman’s sexual obsession with a fellow student, leading to stalking and attempted rape. On a deeper level, the campus novel can be interpreted as a critique of wider processes taking place in American academia and generally in the US: the mainstreaming of the so-called “woke” movement and the growing impact of “political correctness.” The novel also reflects on class inequality, privilege, gender politics, the ongoing crisis of white (heterosexual) masculinity, toxic masculinity, and online “incel culture.” The present paper will analyze the problematic “dialogic, but monologic” nature of the book’s unreliable narrative addressing the above problems. The paper’s goal will be to read Loner in light of the #MeToo movement as an illustration of the current stage of the now decades-long reckoning with rape culture, and with patriarchy.

Artykuł stanowiący stadium porównawcze opowiadania Angeli Carter “The Lady of the House of Love” (1979) i filmu Wernera Herzoga Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (1979), analizuje kreacje bohaterek i bohaterów w obu dziełach w odniesieniu do stereotypowych cech kobiecych (anoreksja, agorafobia i nieracjonalność). W oparciu o Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire (1985) Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick artykuł pokazuje, w jaki sposób genderowa hybrydowość u Carter i Herzoga reprodukuje patriarchalny transfer władzy.

In this comparative study of Angela Carter’s “The Lady of the House of Love” (1979) and Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (1979) eating habits, relation to the domestic and to (ir)rationality are examined in the female and male characters in both works to show how their authors create gender hybridity. Drawing upon Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire (1985), the article proposes that the hybridity reproduces patriarchal transfer of power.
