Abstract: The article explores the postmodernist approach to biofiction through the analysis of biographical novel “The Moor’s Account” (2015) by Layla Lalami. The theoretical framework of the essay provides a synthesis of relevant ideas on the subject: it touches on Madeleine Danova (2011), Mirjana M. Knezevic (2013) Michael Lackey’s (2022), observations on postmodern biofiction, as well as Valentin Khalizev (2011) and Dilmurod Quronov’s (2013) views on intertextuality. It also discusses the cultural-aesthetic functions of intertextual figures. The essay concludes by highlighting the fact that, in spite of cosmopolitism and globalization in the world process, postmodern biofiction allows writers to rewrite the existing literary work from another perspective embellishing the historical fact with national color and traditions by paremias and quotes.
Key words: postmodernism, intertextuality, paremias and quotes.
