Abstract
I
carried out three case studies on three representative authors that present different possibilities of
writing in (and about) exile and immigration. Aleksandar Hemon, Dubravka Ugrešić and David Albahari. These writers are marked by a similar historical context: the common experience of living in
socialist Yugoslavia, ethnic war, political instability and the dissolution of a country, and a
departure from a homeland to Western countries with developed political democracies and
capitalist economic systems. In spite of noted similarities each made different literary and career
choices. Their writing styles are different, as well as their publics and the topics they tackle,
including drastically different treatments of “typical” immigrant topics such as language, home,
and rootedness. My main thesis is that differences in their literary works as well as in their public
functions are not to be understood outside of the literary field in which they function.
