Algimanto Mackaus ir Liūnės Sutemos autobiografiniai tekstai, arba apie išdidumą egzilyje
The Autobiographical Texts of Algimantas Mackus and Liūnė Sutema, or Pride in Exile

Summary/Abstract: This article, analyzing the autobiographies and autobiographical texts of the poets Algimantas Mackus and Liūnė Sutema published in Lithuanian and émigré periodicals, focuses on the main issue of their self-understanding, Who am I, having chosen to emigrate? This question is ever-present in both their poetry and their life texts. With the help of some claims of existential philosophy, I aim to show that answering this question involves raising other questions whose lexical components are based on concepts drawn from existential philosophy, such as guilt, responsibility, freedom, absurdity, and revolt.
