THE PALERIAN ESSAYISTIC IN „PRAY THAT YOU DONʼT GROW WINGS”

Summary/Abstract: The essay is a form of literary prose that becomes fascinating through the opening it proposes and which we find approached by Octavian Paler in his work „Pray that You Donʼt Grow Wings”. As in his essayistic volumes: „Imaginary Letters”, „Cordial Polemics”, „Solitary Adventures”, „Pray that You Donʼt Grow Wings”, is underlined the easiness with which their author manifests his free spirit, unconstrained by patterns, by an obvious tendency of his involvement in the text, whose consequence is the gliding of the literary genres. In this sense, in this article we set out to identify in the work „Pray that You Donʼt Grow Wings” both the formal modalities of the essay, approached by the author, that tend to turn into forms of the literary genre under discussion, and the particularities emphasized by his work.
