Sumario:Copi's literary works seem to have found a much wider critical reception in the past few decades and this is probably due to the fact of recent cultural changes regarding matters of gender. In his plays and his narrative fictions, he uses fictional procedures that show the unstable status of both subjectivity and sexual identities. During this aesthetical path, both heterosexuality and homosexuality are destabilized. His characters seem to be trans (way before that designation was popularized) which represent ways of existence that put in conflict the possibility of speaking of an interior and natural essence, as well as its exterior correlative expresion.
