Grigore Cugler și dimensiunea spectaculară a „romanului” Apunake
Grigore Cugler and the spectacular dimension of Apunake “novel”

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to focus on a marginal author of the Romanian literary avant-garde, Grigore Cugler, considered one of the “epigones” of the post-Urmuz generation of writers. Considering an applied hermeneutic approach, through which we highlight those aspects of Grigore Cugler’s most known text, the false ‘novel’ Apunake, from the volume Apunake și alte fenomene (1934). Through our research, we aim to trace the way in which a true poetics of the absurd spectacular takes shape, both at the level of the imaginary, as well as at the linguistic level, with stylistic effects. Thus, through a close reading applied to the constituent parts of Apunake, it will be possible to observe the configuration of a particular literary discourse, specific to the writer, based on an original modern vision, which distances itself from that of the central model of the avant-garde, Urmuz and his volume Pagini bizarre (1930). The proposed approach falls within the scope of the revalorization of the texts of post-Urmuz writers, considered epigones of the avant-garde literary model
