Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates heterogeneity of Derviš Sušić’s style. This includes analysis and interpretation of elements belonging to various registers (colloquial, administrative, sacred, poetic, erotic....) and languages (Latin, Arabic, German, etc.) The special attention is given to the role of re-registration in Sušić’s works. It can be argued that the key stylistic device in this writer’s narrative style is poetisation or lyricism. The figure of Foreigner as the Other has also been analysed. The paper shows that Sušić’s style has be interpreted as a metaphor, which expresses the author’s belief in necessity of the unity of heterogeneous elements of culture and multiple identities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
