AUTOBIOGRAFIJA RECEPCIJE, SUNCE OVOG DANA: PISMO ANDRIĆU VLADIMIRA PIŠTALA

Abstract

The paper aims to explore various constitutional aspects of the postmodernist poetics in the novel “The Sun of this Day” by Vladimir Pištalo. Seeing the work as a rounded postmodernist poetics of the thirds developmental phase within the framework of national literature, the work explores all those elements that make this novel an attempt to reach the final, “allunderstanding” genre. Examining the form itself, both on the macro plan, within the epistolary structure, and on the metanarrative passages and singular sentences, the paper observes Pištalo’s novel as a comprehensive upgrade of the tradition, in terms of the forms, as well as the literary role models. in mind that “The Sun of this Day” takes Ivo Andrić’s literary opus as its central figure, and since he represents only the cause for considering a wide-ranging cultural, political and literary circumstances of one era, through the perspective of Pištalo’s interpretation of Andrić we will examine the figure of a Woman, hero and a question of counterpoint, trying to emphasize the most significant points of this complex novel. By building its discourse on a specific procedure of creative-hermeneutic writing, through the intersection of personal, literary aspirations and Andrić’s poetic principles, Vladimir Pištalo’s novel represents an unusual work, which, resisting strict genre and poetic definitions, makes an unique biography of one nation and culture.
