  Abstract:  Marginalization represents for J.M.G. Le Clézio and Göran Tunström the essence of society. We are, in fact, all alone because, according to the French writer, «nobody needs anybody». As surprising as it may seem, the characters of J.M.G. Le Clézio and Göran Tunström can feel isolation and marginalization only when they are surrounded by other people. The other human beings destroy the beauty of loneliness, by using words, by expressing their feelings through the speech. Or, what the authors want to tell us is that loneliness represents the structure of every novel. That is why we can find two different kinds of marginalization in J.M.G. Le Clézio and Göran Tunström’s books: one operated by society and one operated by the characters themselves. From the first page to the very last, marginalization is seen as a fact of life and therefore a necessary, aesthetic act.

Key-words: Identity, communication, marginalization
