This article addresses the issue of homosexuality in Stefan Zweig’ Confusion, and attempts to read it against the grain, arguing that homosexuals have always been degraded and misrepresented. It attempts to show that the novella could be read socially and contrapuntally as a letter addressed to a sclerotic Austrian society that, on the whole, showed little tolerance towards homosexuals back then.
Author Keywords: Stefan Zweig, Confusion, homosexuality, society, identity.
