У ТРАГАЊУ ЗА ИЗГУБЉЕНИМ СМИСЛОМ: "РАЗБРАЈАЛИЦА, ОКТОПОД-ПРИЧА" ЛАСЛА БЛАШКОВИЋА
IN SEARCH OF THE LOST MEANING: "COUNTING-OUT RHYME, OCTOPUS-STORY" BY LASLO BLAŠKOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to explore the genre specifics of the novel Counting-out Rhyme, Octopus-Story written by Laslo Blašković, as well as the semantic layers that were activated in this manner. By accepting the traditional genre of the novel, which was transformed in the direction of a counting-out rhyme and octopus-story, the novel is constructed as a formally unique, subjective literary expression.Building its narrative flow upon the destinies of different personalities, who built seemingly independent stories, the novel Counting-out Rhyme develops the idea of a single story. With each new destiny, the story gets its variant, so the figure of the octopus will become a metaphor of literature in the most general sense. The story, having lost its meaning due to countless repetitions, like a counting-out rhyme, will become a structure of sound and scream, while the need for narration will become a principle of self-preservation.
