This paper deals with narration and identity as one of the exceptionally important themes for literature. The first part presents an introduction to the notions of narration and identity described by contemporary theories. The paper deals with the ideas of Hannah Arendt, Paul Ricoeur, Adriana Cavarero, and Julia Kristeva that connect identity and narration. Arendt links the notion of identity with otherness that constitutes it and enables its political and ethical action. Ricoeur introduces the problem of narrative identity that implies that the idea of identity enters the time course. In it, changes of identity are possible, and it requires safety mechanisms that will witness the preservation of one's identity. Cavarero points the importance of narration of one's stories by the other. The life story of a subject can be attested only by another. Another reading of Arendt's work offers Kristeva who observes notions of otherness and identity in the framework of political and ethical community in which the subject arises. The second part of the paper analyzes the reading of four novels by Daša Drndić (Leica format, Sonennschein, Belladonna, EEG). In these novels, the question of identity that is formed by narration is a fundamental problem that is processed with narrative techniques such as the narrator's omission of facts he knows or giving false facts intentionally. Also, in novels, it is very common for characters and narrators to lose their identity and acquire a new one which enables narration about them and the construction of the narrator as the other who is required to subject. At last, it will be shown how the question of fluid and unstable identity can most clearly be represented in the literary text according to which theoretical questions of narration and identity arise.
