Babylon Literary Studies. Intertext Analysis. Dialogues and Silences. Volume III

This volume gathers the fruits of Nikola Georgiev's long-standing interest in intertextuality and "silent dialogues." The author not only interprets literary works, he creates tools for interpretation. It is a generously shared view that allows the reader to discover the depths, complexities and fascination of seemingly familiar,  banal interpretations of literary works. His articles and papers offer heuristic approaches, open up research fields, create new literary genres. The new genre mentioned, successfully developed by Nikola Georgiev, is the intertextual analysis, the reconstruction of the "silent dialogues" in the literature, which can bring close Naiden Stremski with Bai Gagno, Bai Gagno with Josef Schweik, and Josef Schweik with Josef K. Intertextual analysis focuses on the space between works in the literary canon, revealing connections and significant absences that rearrange and alter the canon itself.
