Summary/Abstract: The French critic reveals a whole extensive network of affinities which connect Schulz’s oneiric fiction with that of Alfred Kubin, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Max Blecher, and – perhaps not surprisingly – Franz Kafka. Selecting from the world of Schulz three specific motifs: the city, the mannequin, and the metaphysical machine, he demonstrates that the writer from Drogobych joined, for the most part unawares, the mainstream of European modernism both in its literary and artistic varieties, including the self-reflexive art of Marcel Duchamp.
