Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses multiple positions of unbelonging of the main character of The Novel about London by Milos Crnjanski and the narrative tension which is achieved through it. Attention is drawn to different actions which bring about the impossibility of Riepnin’s assimilation, and to the process of erosion of his identity. Special attention is paid to the motif of metamorphosis, and the status of a megalopolis which acquires the characteristics of a novelistic hero.
