Summary/Abstract: Logprose as a model of literary esthetics of reality in a novel “Mraz i pepeo” of Jasna Šamić, is a sort of a challenge to the genre of the novel. Playing on “natural flowing together” of female authorship and text, the novel by its diary orientation simultaneously insists on the inseparability, but it also wants to undermine it. Simulating indirect convergence of autobiographical material and aesthetic forms prejudice to the principle of credibility, but does not exclude it, it remains one of the fundamental assumptions of “l’écriture feminine” by Jasna Šamić. Ontological closeness of women and writing, and women’s privilege of direct contact with life is a figure of reading the novel, which is invested in these plitting of living and a written undertaking, or, into the question: Why would I not talk about myself, as if that ‘self ’ is no longer ‘I’? The firmness of “l’écriture féminine” is an echo of the Father’s language that by ironic and subversive smile evokes and makes present the feminine perspective.
