Anne Nies Professor Foeller-Pituch English 368-CN 10 June 2011 The Surreal in The Street of Crocodiles In The Street of Crocodiles Schulz uses the surreal to create a vivid and magical portrayal of his childhood. The way in which Schulz builds a surreal scene is subtle and eloquent, while his use of surreali st imagery and themes i s by contrast blatant and obvious. The chapters seem float like a balloon in the wind between dreaming and waking, keeping the narrative from touching the banal while all of the time it is immersed in it. Schulz reveals the glory and wonder of the universe while si multaneously acknowledging the mundane. Although the father figure i s used to reveal esoteric knowledge of alchemy, magic, and the Demiurge; in the end his accomplishments are recognized as failures and reality reverts back to it’ s normal state. Thus upon completion of The Street of Crocodiles the reader is left to determine if what they have read is simply a flight of fancy or if perhaps it is a pee k, from under one small corner of the screen, at the true nature of things. The major concepts and themes of surrealism are all used in Schulz’s work: the apartment and the city are labyrinths that take the reader on fantastic disorienting journeys, there is “a screen ironically placed to hide the true meaning of things,” fire and violence are spr inkled across the narrative, the exotic and the magical manifest themselves through the father ’s antics, and others are subtly sprinkled throughout the narrative (S chulz 103).

It is quite remar kable that Schulz has smoothly worked them into his writing so ef fectively. In doing so he forces even the. Greatest skeptic to agree that his work is surrealist in nature, he guarantees that the un-educated reader has a thorough introduction to surrealism, and he provides the student of surrealism with a feast.

Schulz creates the surreal in scenes, objects, an d occurrences through using words that, while providing great detail, are both unique and unusual for what they are describing. Often this leads to a clear image that begins as normal and quickly morphs into the exceptional. A gr eat example of this is in the chapter “T ailors’ Dummies”: “W e were beset again from all sides by the mournful grayness of the city which crept through the windows with the dark rash of dawn, with the mushroom growth of dusk, developing into the shaggy fur of long winter nights.” (Schulz 52). Often dawn is described as creeping, and it is easy to think of a mournful grey city, especially after reading Di ckens.

Thus Schulz begins to build his reader into a st andard scene, but then he describes the c reeping dawn as a “dark rash” which is in direct conflict to the standard idea of dawn bringing li ght and banishing the dark. At this point in the sentence movement towards the surreal has begun. The narrative then gently departs from reality wi th “the mushroom growth of dusk,” where the idea of grey and brown mushrooms lend color to the scene then morph it so that suddenly the dusk itself becomes a field of sprouting mushrooms swallowing up the city and the room. The final part of t he sentence then gently lowers t he reader towards the normal again with “the shaggy fur of long winter nights” conjuring images of wolfs in the snow and fur coats.

Thus without being overtly unreal, S chulz turns the simple change of day to night and fall to winter into a work of surrealism in only one sentence. This powerful type of description touches on one of the ideas of Aragon: “The essence of things is in no way linked to their reality, there are relationships other than reality that the mind. May grasp and that come fi rst too, such as chance, ill usion, the fantastic, the dream.
