Summary/Abstract: The paper attempts to give a transcultural interpretation of the novel Das Ungeheuer (The Monster) by Terézia Mora. It seeks to find an answer to the question of how belonging to several cultures transforms and fills with new content topoi such as migration, belonging, foreignness and language interactions. Next to this, it also deals with the narrative structure of the novel, which provides characteristic features that overwrite earlier concepts of multi-cultural literature constituted along lines of simplification.
