Summary/Abstract: The paper is interested in narrative conceptions that can evoke aesthetic potentials in the sphere of memory, and primarily raises the question of how figures that relate to speech addressed to someone or speech realized about someone work at all. This happens when fictitious forms of the narrator’s self-search and hidden expansions of family relations become the subject of the narrative. What are the more striking dimensions of the open structure that appears due to the functioning of random combinations? If we read Gábor Németh’s novel The Summer of a Marmot or the work of Dragan Velikić The Investigator... (a novel imbued with elements of searching for locations), then the question arises: what conception of understanding develops the novel in relation to the experience of strangeness, what could it appropriate from the world of anxiety and fear, and how the double process of selection and appropriation works in it?
