The main aim of this article is an attempt to describe some special kind and form of literary writing. The center of this consideration lay at the item between two anthropological concepts, namely health and illness. This two different concepts means by founding a distinctive particular space. This is where we could locate main sense of an eponymous wound of writing. However, health and illness are bound to categories of personal life experience which, in a manner of speaking, determines experience of writing in general. In principle all issues are based on the analysis philosophical works of Gilles Deleuze and the interpretation of same fragments from literary works of Franz Kafka.

This essay explores the modernist aesthetic involved in creating a fictive, nostalgic, childhood experience. Evoking the experience of childhood through fiction is as close to actually reliving childhood as we can get. The author argues that it is possible to actually transport the reader into not only the idealized world of childhood, but more so into an embodied experience of childhood through the use of different kinds of narrative and stylistic configurations. In a stylistic and narratological analysis of three modernist novels, Virginia Woolf’s The Waves (1931), Tarjei Vesaas’ The Ice Palace [Is-slottet] (1963) and William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (1929), the author explores the different ways that literature can create (or re-create) the very experience of childhood through literary style. The strategies involved in establishing a fictive experience of childhood extend from narratological choices such as free indirect style, strict focalization through a child in the narrative (which implies limitations in perception and cognitive abilities, as well as in linguistic terms) to the use of a child-like temporality, the hyperbolic use of phenomena, and an emphasis of the sensorial aspects of perception.
