Как един български аероплан влита в историята на футуризма... Как се срещат литература и ботаника в Яворовите "Теменуги"? Какъв е случаят с единственото футуристко списание у нас "Кресчендо" и кога провинцията ражда авангард? Защо социализмът е труден за разказване? И още - за следобеда на една идеология, за някогашните лексикони и виновното дете на късния соц. За невидимата литературна антология, скрита в последните български банкноти. И за една възможна история на тъгата в българската литература. Книга за онова, което остава вън от кадъра, и за светлината, идваща от пукнатините на монументалното. ... |

Писателското дело на Йордан Йовков е едно от най-често анализираните в българската литература. Предлаганата книга интерпретира неговите разкази от позицията на един от най-бурно развиващите се напоследък дялове на литературната теория - наратологията. И досега много от въпросите, свързани с повествователните похвати на Йовков, са били поставяни от анализаторите. Настоящото изследване обаче предлага един по-системен подход към повествователната техника на писателя, което в голяма степен води до преосмисляне на някои от утвърдените клишета в тълкуването на творбите на този голям български разказвач. ... |
