In this article the Liar\u2019s Paradox is examined in reference to Dostoevsky\u2019s novel Notes from the Underground (1864). First the concept of unreliable narrator is discussed and examined within the genres of autobiography and \u2018confession\u2019, where the narrator not always tells the truth but sometimes intentionally lies in order to obtain the reader\u2019s sympathy and admiration. Then the narrative strategies of the Man from the underground are analyzed and a series of \u201cextreme\u201d narrative devices (Richardson 2006) are identified, such as \u201cepanorthosis\u201d, \u201cdenarration\u201d, \u201cdisnarration\u201d.
