Summary/Abstract: Review of novel Sunce o desno rame by Alija Isaković has descovered novel in mild tone, to level narrative so that all have desribed with cold and calm way in society which is all time in standing position. Through cultural analysis of context in novel and with emphasize of binary elements its structure, we had conclusion that this novel is first poststructuraly and postmodern novel in Bosnian's and ex-Yugoslavian's literary. All contextualy dynamics of this novel is in trips of uranium's explorer – prospectus, and descriptions Serbian's as the land of no-return between Bulgarian, Rumania and Yugoslavia and with short tales about love affairs. Death of main hero, Boris Đaniš, broke permanent tension that something must happen and lead us to conclusion that all wandering and researching for uranium is unnecessary and senseless. Uranim became basic figur of novel because it is unreachable and metapfor for allways inaccesible object of desire. It is epicentar and empty mark around which all is happend, it is frame for 'unconflictly' society of ex-Yjugoslavia.
