Summary/Abstract: This article describes different models of a strangeness/an otherness which are present in the autobiographical works of Bora Ćosić, one of the most famous post-Yugoslav stateless. The texts that have been analyzed were written in an exile and these are: Dnevnik apatrida, Carinska deklaracija, Novi stanar, Put na Aljasku and Consul u Beogradu, in which the writer consistently shows himself as a foreigner/a stranger, whereby these categories positively evaluate and make the foundation of the unstable, hybrid identity - national, cultural and artistic (literary) one.
