Abstract: Our article deals with Nancy Huston’s novel Dolce Agonia (2001) and our aim is to highlight and point out the instances that make this novel a distinguished sample of a grand narrative and a good example of a postmodernist pastiche. The text breathes and echoes with numerous literary, biblical or mythological allusions. On the other hand, Dolce Agonia is complete with the dedication, epigraphs, the prologue, and finally an epiphanic end. Thus, it embraces all the attributes of a classic novel as well. All these factors enable the author to produce a richly layered literary text spiced with a refreshed, engaging and highly amusing narrative style.
Key words: Nancy Huston, Dolce Agonia, postmodernist literature, pastiche, narrative technique.
