Reflection of the Post-Soviet Era in the Modern Georgian Novel (Iva Pezuashvili's "Bunker")

Abstract

Soviet and post-Soviet reflection in literature was revealed in the texts of many modern writers, but with its individual artistic style and unconventional history. Iva Fezuashvili's "Bunker" creates a special niche not only in the Georgian but also in the international cultural context. In Iva Fezuashvili's novel, the saga of the Simonyans who fled to Tbilisi from the Karabakh war, is told the story of one family during one day and night. The architecture of the text and the narrative style are completely different, consisting of
very long, unpunctuated sentences. The text bears both marks of a postmodernist aesthetics it is easy to understand for the mass reader, and the intellectual reader will find many subtexts and depth in the author's remarks.
