The author analyzes the fantastic narration of one of the most important Bosnian authors Irfan Horozović, who in the seventies of the 20th century together with his generation of writers (the so-called „borgesians“) made a radical break with the mimetic or imitative function of literature and entered the imaginary and mysterious. Describing the narrative world in the prose Talhe or Šedrvan Garden, Horozović wrote the most beautiful pages of his homeland Banja Luka, which has its prototype in Borges’ Buenos Aires, a city of metaphysical death and eternity, mythical destiny and unfathomable reality, a city that emerges from the library. Just as Borges incorporated the world of Buenos Aires in his stories, and Vlada Urošević described the urban area of Skopje, so Horozović wrote about the heroes of Banja Luka. These are characters who often leave the stronghold of the experiential, move from reality to the realm of dreams or other realities, travel different time periods, are insecure in the world they belong to, do not see a way out of the situation they are in, they are accompanied by hesitation and confusion. In this way, the author builds an alternative world, the artificial city of Baluk Abad, which communicates with the Šedrvan Garden as a parallel city. As a master of fiction, Irfan Horozović shows diversity in the application of different models of fiction, but also the features of postmodernist poetics: the introduction of experimental forms, especially the relationship to language in the context of the narrative process ars combinatoria, linguistic-conceptual innovation and freedom to play with different symbols and phenomena.
