Abstract

The paper deals with a comparative reading of Lunar - the marginalized novelist debut of Josip Kulundžić and The Journal of Čarnojević - a paradigmatic work of Serbian avant-garde literature. The aim of the paper is to point out the literary coordinates that are important for understanding Kulundžić’s novel (Kulundžić’s explicitly and implicitly expressed poetic considerations, as well as the author’s review of Crnjanski’s Journal of Čarnojević), which pro- vide the basis for recognizing sumatraistic elements in this novel. Bearing in mind that in the period after the First World War, various forms of regard “Kulundžić’s mysticism” and Crn- janski’s Sumatraism as poetically and ideologically related concepts, representing a specific “incarnation of the longing for the unity of everything that lives and feels” (J. Kulundžić).
