The Family Novel in Post-Yugoslav Literatures

Summary/Abstract: The article examines, in a comparative perspective, works from Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian literature that are representative of the family novel. The analysis focuses on the following aspects of novelistic structure: modes of conceptualizing family history; the relationship between history, memory, and trauma; narrative and stylistic strategies. Particular attention is paid to the autobiographical code present in a large number of the examined works, as well as to the frequent use of a female narrative perspective. The synthesis of the analytical observations reveals a number of similarities among the works discussed, which makes it possible to define shared typological characteristics.
