Summary/Abstract: The subject of interest in this study are the linguo-stylistic features of the Nenadić’s novel in which writer’s homeland and its everyday serve as a framework for highlighting the various problems of contemporary social reality. The corpus of research are novels Rain (1979), Flood (1982) and Hurricane (2002). The aim of the research is to examine the linguistic-stylistic means for establishing different narrative voices that appear in the novel – narrative voice and characters’ voices. Linguo-stylistic analysis shows that the voice of the omniscient narrator is not always clearly differentiated from the voice of the characters, no style marked crossing, but there is a kind of interference of the narrative voices. Narrative voice is identified by the ironic relation to the subject of the narrative. Voice of characters is identified by the folk stylization (small folk forms and the phrases). It is noticeable difference between the characters from the rural and urban areas. The voice of the hero from the urban areas is identified by jargon lexicon.
