Sažetak
Fundamental features of Basara's poetics: first- person narration ; rejecton of great narratives ; exploration of the possibility of rejecting a story in general ; narrator focuses on the problems related to the self (irrelevance of circumstancees) - the central question being what is the self ; forays into the religious sphere ; the self is an unbearably present nothing ; third- person narration denounced as a lie ; distance from writing ; the petty-bourgeois imperative of non-interference ; the fictional I is the place in the text that can generate story and meaning ; emptiness as a form of search ; threads ; early fiction as the archaeology of the ego ; the care of the self handed over to religious introspection ; the truth of fiction is in self-referentiality and metatextuuality (fiction is true only when it is not mimesis) ; fiction declared as fiction: mimesis of the unreality of the phenomenal (e.g. The Cyclist Conspiracy) ; narratives verging on essays - essays as narrative fiction ; essay collections recapitulate a period and pave the way for new interests.
