THE EFFECTS OF GENRE: ON THE GENERIC FEATURES OF THE NOVEL OF A NOVEL. NOTES FROM THE MOSCOW DIARY, 1935–1937, BY ERVIN ŠINKO

Summary/Abstract: Ervin Šinko’s The Novel of a Novel is analysed as an autobiographical and metafictional text as well as a testimony to historical events, namely the escape from fascism and the experience of Stalinism in Moscow between 1935 and 1937. This article addresses the question of genre boundaries and the necessity of hybridising the novel as a genre in order to represent the individual experiences of a left-wing stateless person and émigré that are inseparably intertwined with collective historical events. The analysis further discusses the explicitly articulated demand for the effect of the text, drawing on Matías Martínez’s typology of narrative texts, particularly his distinction between causal and configurational narrative forms.
