  • WHAT ROLE DOES THE YGGUR LA...
    Rogatchevski, Andrei

    Slavic and East European journal, 06/2020, Volume: 64, Issue: 2
    Journal Article

    This is a companion piece to Laura Janda's article in the same volume. Using some of the rich and varied literary and philosophical allusions in Lucemburská zahrada (e.g. Plotinus, Hölderlin, Kitaro, Husserl, de Mandiargues, Ladislav Klima), as well as his personal correspondence with Michal Ajvaz from 2017-18, the author attempts to explain why the Yggur language was invented and what it is doing in the novel. Also included are the reasons as to why this explanation can only be of limited nature.
