A specific biographical narration technique of Willumsen is the starting point for discussing two interweaving layers of biographical discourse: the historical literary biography and the internal biography (lifeline as a story). Willumsen`s open dialogue of images and words shapes the narration to cross the frame of the principal character`s historical time and places Willumsen`s novel in the European context of narrative literature on artistic images of identity.otherlitterær biografibiografisk fortællingbiografisk-historisk fortællingidentitetsbilledernarrative identitetsbillederpoetologisk konstruktionfortælleprocedureliterary biographybiographical storybiographical-historical storyidentity imagesnarrative identity imagespoetological structureArtykuł
