Description The paper explores the role of the native language of Yugoslavia in Saša Stanišić's novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone. On one hand, the texts portray the social, political, and societal realities of pre- and post-war life in the former homeland, and on the other hand, they delve into profound personal and collective memories. The author examines the memories and language of the characters originating from Yugoslavia. The depiction of cultural, social, and political realities, which emerges from the literary representations and the theme of memory, is directly crafted within the texts. Literary works by authors like Saša Stanišić create this image by intertwining personal experiences with fictional narratives.
