Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the relationship between the document and the oral stories, a list of assets and figure of nameless young man through which Andrić’s “The Damned Yard” expressed foreboding which testifies an uncertain fate literature after modernism. Andrić’s novel shows the poetic vision of postmodern poetics of the novel, while the incompleteness list and silence of the young man recognizes the outstanding issue of destiny of literature in the time ahead of us. It has been concluded that Andric had spotted cutting off the literature from the discourse of writing as one of the ultimate consequences of this fate, while at the same time he had preserved the faith in the possibility of its immortality.
