Trace of melancholy in self-referential narratives (R. Sloboda: Autumn)

• Languages of publication: SK

Abstracts

EN

Sloboda´s last novel published during his life is - even in the context of his work in the 1990s - a specific type of autobiographical narration. Besides the non-suyzhet, composition-free narration, Sloboda makes frequent use of meaning parallelism in his text, which subsequently brings about supplemental, metaleptic character of narration. The potential of the causal story-driven narration is loosened by the writer in order to install more and more association segments featuring a great proportion of illustrative and ornamental potency. It happens unintentionally, and, as a result, the text proves within itself and for itself the connection between self-presenting narration and the selective (as well as melancholic) work of memory.
