The Novel as a Bricolage
The Novel as a Bricolage

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is Stefan Çapaliku’s novel “Everybody gets insane in their own way,” published in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Here we analyze the novel’s structure because bricolage means a particular way of structuring. In addition, we determine the status of the novel’s writer because he takes several roles which change depending on the analytical point of view. Since bricolage means a way of structuring, the structure of the fable is another matter of discussion. The text is structured through some postmodern techniques, such as découpe and collage, that define its type. Also, other postmodern elements of the novel are discussed here, such as irony, black humor, fragmentation, metafiction, minimalism, transtextuality, etc.
