In one's own words: the autoreferential function of paraphrases of “The Karamazov brothers” in the poetry of Lev Loseff

Lev Loseff’s poetical retellings could not be considered as an exposition of initial text in a new form. This new form, its properties and its cultural and social contexts become the object of his creative reflections. Consequently, the autoreferential function appears to be the essential feature of Loseff’s poetic paraphrases.
