This paper focuses on the prose of Daša Drndić, more specifically on distinctive narrative strategies implemented throughout her body of work. By outlining the development of her writing, starting from its earliest stages, extending into better-known novels of the 1990s and finishing with her most notable works, those of the 2000s, we aim to highlight features that can be considered representative of her entire oeuvre. Our starting points for demonstrating these complementary narrative tendencies include documentary and autobiographical properties of the novels in question, their distinct formal solutions and preferred thematic focal points. From there, we expand into the question of narrative authority and point to a certain „permeability“ to various discourse types, identifying a proportional increase in documentary ambitions, usually by means of an extensive metafictional aggregate. In order to clearly underline discontinuity as a central principle of Drndić's writing, special attention is paid both to intratextual and extratextual seams, underlining both their individual interpretative impact and broader implications for the corpus. Additionally, we draw attention to moments of continuity and abundant intertextual contacts while aiming to trace the complex metatextual relationship of Drndić's narrators. With these insights, we hope to pinpoint typical narrative techniques, while convergence points and recognizable shifts will help reveal a consistent and relatively stable narrative model.
