Summary
Kornelije Kvas: Andrić's Poetics of Doubt
"Kvas wrote the book Andrić's Poetics of Doubt with the calmness of a thinker, the rigor of a professor, the restraint of a critic, the argumentation of an impartial analyzer and the experience of a man who in life and in his profession felt, realized and understood the meaning of what was the basic subject of analysis - doubt."
Emeritus PhD Branko Tošović
"Encompassing the development line of Andrić's poetics within three typological creative phases, Kornelije Kvas shows with reliable argumentation, with an interpretative-analytical and comparative method, the extent to which doubt is revealed as a constant feature of Andrić's literature. The wider philosophical and anthropological context of Kvas's research gives new insights into the ways in which our Nobel laureate entered into the tradition of European artistic and scientific thought, confirming that doubt about the meaning of artistic creation and the possibility of complete artistic expression was, paradoxically, the driver of Andrić's literary art." of literary modernism as well as in relation to the key philosophical ideas of the recent era. Through the meticulous interpretations of Andrić's texts as well as developed comparative analyzes Kornelija Kvas establishes new possibilities for understanding Andrić's art of storytelling."
