Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the poetics of pathlessness in Veljko Milićević’s novel Bespuće, emphasizing this motif as a central thematic and structural element of the text. By applying Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia to spaces such as the city, the train, the family home, and the letter, the study analyzes how the protagonist's existential alienation and aimless wandering are articulated through a network of disrupting spatial sites.
