The article offers an interpretation of the novel "How to Quiet a Vampire," by Borislav Pekić. The analysis employs Bakhtinian analysis as a theoretical basis for examining the novel's use of philosophical oppositions as a means to parody the Hegelian dialectic. The author then explores the symbolic image of the umbrella and how it brings together four thematic axes in the novel. Finally, an interpretation is provided for the meaning of the novel's last image, a chained umbrella in Pekić's basement. |
