Цитатите от масовата литература и култура и от модерната класика в експерименталното писане на Борис Априлов
Quotations from Mass Literature and Culture and from Modern Classics in the Experimental Writing of Boris Aprilov

Summary/Abstract: Boris Aprilov’s prose builds a dense citation network of names from both lite rature and mass culture. In his later work, icons of modern literature are claimed as authorities, but the quotations come from the classics or from modern mass culture. The study traces different configurations between the narrative and the quotation as cultural sign: mention; rewriting; juxtaposition with the authoritative antecedent. Citation strategies are considered in relation to the aesthetic project of correlating high elitist measure with mass accessibility. In the aspect of Bulgarian culture, the voicing of mainstream and popular authors in Boris Aprilov‘s prose shows their reception and rethinking in the context of the closed society behind the Iron Curtain.
