This master’s thesis deals with the novel Girl, Woman, Other (2019) by the British author Bernardine Evaristo from the perspective of narratology. It focuses on the author’s invention that combines style and form – fusion fiction – which is defined and illustrated with examples. In the theoretical part, the historical development of narratology from the classical to postclassical period is presented, in addition to the key narratology terms and concepts. In the analytical part, the theoretical concepts and narratological characteristics of fusion fiction are illustrated with examples from the novel. The excerpts are interpreted through the point of view of feminist and postcolonial criticism, and the concept of intersectionality is introduced. The last part includes an analysis of the translation into Slovene, focusing on the main dilemmas pointed out by the translator and the translation of the narrative strategy of fusion fiction.
