They are both inspired by the first Avant-Garde movements, as well as by the countercultural tendencies of their times. Their protagonists dream about symbolical places – like the kibbutz of desire in Cortázar´s Hospscotch – where the man could eventually feel free from middle class morals and submission imposed by the capitalist system.</p>}, journal={Studia Iberica (Studia Iberystyczne)}, author={Pluta, Nina}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={195–209} }
