Summary/Abstract: Considering three novels written by David Albahari, one of the Serbian most popular and widely recognized novelists, the author will attempt to discuss in this paper the issues of subjectivity and identity creation, represented at various literary levels: narrative techniques and voice, chronotope of the road, the setting and the language. Specific focus will also be placed on the question of the (self) exile and nomadic subjectivity because one of the main hypotheses is that David Albahari affirms postmodern models of fragmented and dispersed Subject but manages to establish an important sense of diasporic home – the home that does not have particular sociopolitical, geographical or cultural roots.
