“UNIVERSAL GREAT LOVE” BY E. LETOV. ONCE AGAIN ABOUT THE PRETEXT

This article deals with the connection of the E. Letov’s song text “Universal Great Love” with G.E. Nossak’s novel “Spiral”. The poet himself spoke about that connection. The article offers a view of Letov’s text as a palimpsest. Because it is not an isolated case in Letov’s poetic practice, the article concludes that such an approach is productive. The importance of studying Letov in the context of creative and philosophical thought of the 20th century is also emphasized.
