Геометрия на пространствата в декоративния роман на Чавдар Мутафов „Дилетант“
Geometry of Spaces in the Decorative Novel “Dilettante“ by Chavdar Mutafov

Summary/Abstract: The decorative novel transports into the art time and space through stylization and the painting one – through liberty. Beyond all questions, in the decorative novel there’s something much more extraordinary in the style and the way the art picture is built. “Dilettante“ presents two planes – one on which the objects surrounding the Dilettante and his world lie, and one which is a projection of his own expectations, his inner world, formation of senses and concepts of the surrounding reality. Geometry of cone is an interesting element for Mutafov’s prose, burdened with multiple meanings. Maybe if he didn’t keep to decorativeness and stylization, Mutafov would add a mountain peak. But instead of this, he turned the liberty of a mountain into bipolar stylized cone – wide above and tight below. Spaces in “Dilettante“ cross in different points, but the most distinct and private space described is the room of the Dilettante. He lives with cubes, pyramids, prisms, which presence is motionless. But Mutafov expresses their mobility through the feeling they provoke in the Dilettante. The Dilettante, as the centre he seeks, turns into imaginary and absent beings. Would the world and the Dilettante fit the formula of plane ax+by+cz+d=0 or the world’s nature is different?
