The explicit poetics of Momčilo Nastasijević’s prose

Abstract

This paper deals with the poetics of Momčilo Nastasijević’s prose, with regard to his non-fictional texts, his essays, notes, and interviews, and also in part with some of his poetry collections. Although this prose is, in terms of explicit poetics, largely unmarked, with Nastasijević himself, in his critical works, leaving the posterity of his readers and critics utterly deprived of any explication of his prose works, we can broadly discuss Nastasijević’s narratological poetic assumptions, taking into consideration the fact that he often made poetic claims about literature in general.
