Summary/Abstract: The hybridity as a means to achieve a new form, emphasize one’s own poetic views and describe the current conditions of culture, locally and globally, is the main feature of the novelistic work of Vlada Uroshevikj, consisting of six parts “The Taste of Peaches” (1965), “My Cousin Emilija” (1994), “The Court Poet in a Flying Machine” (1996), “Wild League” (2000), ”The Bride and the Dragon” and “Madzhun” (2018), This hybridity manifests itself in the relativisation of the borders between faction and fiction, present and past, reality and imagination. Urosevikj’s opus is characterized by variety of genres and postmodern parody and playfulness with the genre rules, i.e., with genre manipulation. Looking at the history of Macedonian novel, we can conclude that Urosehvikj enriches Macedonian prose works by introducing popular genres, such as detective, science-fiction novels and artistic fairytales. The evident palimpsest in Urosevic’s work points to a specific cult of knowledge and education.
