Summary/Abstract: The article aims to change a little the perspective upon Andrei Makine’s narrative discourse. Seen mainly as a great story-teller – which he is indeed – all the reviews on his books gravitate around this skill, and, regarding the style Proust and Chekhov are uttered almost like a refrain. Beyond this we noticed however a gradually change in the writer`s position towards his own stories. After 2004, it seems that Makine has been revisiting another structure which made history in the first half of the 20th century, namely the metanovel.
