The Cities of Gregor von Rezzori

Keywords: Urban Space, the Inter-War Period, Czernowitz, Vienna after the Anschluss, Bucharest, Ironic Gaze

Abstract

This article aims to relate the extraordinary life of Gregor von Rezzori (1914 -1998) with the cities that shaped his personality and his work. From his native Czernowitz to Vienna, his cultural homeland, and Bucharest, where he spent an important period of his life. All of them are a source of inspiration for his novels and are studied in relation to his biography. For its analysis, the article draws on research methods from the study of urban space and literary analysis with incursions into literary-historical research from a semiotic point of view, which makes it possible to treat the city as a text.
