Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina’s recent past has witnessed the emergence of a series of novels whose thematic preoccupation is based on the actualization of the turbulent events of the war (1992–1995) and the post-war period. Recognizing the concepts of neocolonialism, i.e. the discourse of neocolonialism in the novel Siesta Fiesta Orgasmo Riposo, and then detecting the consequences that are a direct product of the exploitative policy of the West, is the topic of this paper. The paper tries to analyze the role of the narrator/characterand shed light on his position as a marginalized other whose identity is actually formed at the border, reflecting at the same time the passivity of the weak subject and his existence within the complex mechanism of consumer society.
