Summary/Abstract: Bashkim Shehu is one of the well-known and important prose writers of contemporary Albanian literature, who, with his novels, experiments in many different forms. This study will focus on the manifestation of intertextuality in the novels of this author, creating a dense intertextual relationship with various works of world literature, Albanian folklore, myths, and others. The great intertextual diversity in the work of Bashkim Shehu testifies to the postmodern poetics of this author, with a multidimensional discourse and a very characteristic and special type of writing for the Albanian novel after the 90s.
