THE ROLE OF SPACE IN THE NOVEL „A ROOM FOR PASSERSBY“ BY VITOMIR LUKIĆ

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on Lukic’s novel „A Room for Passersby,“ the first novel from his eponymous collection, in which various existential questions about human place and survival in the contemporary world are recorded through the consciousness of a lonely and isolated individual. It discusses the spatial reality, or the physical space of the world in which the narrator finds himself in the novel, as well as his perceptual space where feelings of resignation, alienation, and Sartrean nausea come to the forefront. By demonstrating how, in this novel, objective reality is reflected in the internal, how the conflict between the individual and the collective, or individual and collective consciousness, is psychologically formed, and what the level of interpersonal communication is, the paper will also discuss narrative techniques used by Lukic, with a special emphasis on internal monologue and syntactically minimized dialogue.
