Abstract

The paper attempts to point out several important poetical features of this novel, approaching to it primarily (but not exclusively) from a stylistic standpoint. This approach also leads towards elaboration of a number of crucial issues raised by this novel and some of its semantic layers can be studied only if they are approached from this point of view. At the end, the paper gives a research synthesis, linking the stylistic reading and one of the central problems raised by this novel, the problem of the relation between the war trauma and discourse production.
