Summary
Researches concerning the newest Macedonian literature consider postmodern metatextuality to its most important mark. Danilo Kocevski – literary critic and essayist wrote:
We arrive at the most important properties of the newest prose = metatextuality and mannerism.
It also points to its metaliterary basis and the creation of stories about the stories, the use of Bakhtin's “foreign speech,” text in text, construction of narrative structures considering authentic persons beyond the fabula (foreign speech) and elements of irony and grotesque. This type of text is dominated by: fragmentation, minimization, incorporation of metatextual passages, creation of intertextual relations, usage of all levels and perspectives of the expression and invitation for the reader to take part in the creation of the text. Furthermore, in accordance with the theory of deconstruction, a text cannot have only one determined meaning, and the text's meaning is created during each reading. All these properties of postmodern and deconstruction literature are also characteristic of contemporary tendencies in most recent Macedonian prose.
Indeed, there is a very important difference between traditional treatment of literary text, in which the author tends to achieve an illusion of reality and that which literary canons related to the notion of “mimesis” impose on him, and the emergence of postmodern metatextuality, typical of most recent Macedonian literature. The author doesn't only show demonstrably that he is not interested in reality (as stylistic means), but rather than in creation of illusion of that reality, he is interested in its deconstruction. Moreover, deconstruction, even reality break-down and deformation of the literary image of the world, function in the name of language and utilization of its universal abilities for creation of text. Aspiration towards fictional deconstruction of reality or towards true reconstruction of the real world, which has already been deconstructed by deliberate action of every person (creator) with the assumption that the only available tool for recognition of reality is the text, led to partial elimination or complete lack of logical (causal) relations between individual sections of text content.
