Тейлиза «Чти отца своего» («Honor Thy Father», 1971) и Дж. Бреслина «Хорошая крыса: правдивая история» («The Good Rat: A True Story», 2008). Г. Тейлиз и Дж. Бреслин в своем творчестве часто обращались к исследованию феномена организованной преступности в США, продолжая традиции макрекерства начала ХХ века. В книге «Чти отца своего» Г. Тейлиз в форме документального романа прослеживает несколько поколений известной мафиозной семьи Боннано, где приверженность традициям в изображении мафиозных семей выступает основным мотивом. Дж. Бреслин обращается к исследованию современного состояния мафии, в определенной степени мифологизируя образы крупных мафиози прошлого. Один из важных мотивов в произведении – влияние прессы на формирование в обществе представления о мафии, что, в свою очередь, влияет на судьбу представителей кланов. На материале данных произведений авторы доклада приходят к выводу, что в отличие от произведений, для которых характерна либо героизация, либо демонизация данного образа, художественно-документальные книги Г. Тейлиза и Дж. Бреслина представляют более многомерный образ известной преступной организации и ее членов.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper identifies the specifics of reflecting the mafia image in literary nonfiction books “Honor Thy Father” (1971) by G. Talese and “The Good Rat: A True Story” (2008) by J. Breslin. G. Talese and J. Breslin often addressed the phenomenon of organized crime in the United States, continuing the muckrakers’ traditions of the early 20th century. In “Honor Thy Father”, G. Talese traces several generations of the famous Bonnano family in the form of a nonfiction novel, its main motif being the mafia families’ adherence to traditions. J. Breslin studies the current state of the mafia, to a certain extent mythologizing the images of major Mafiosi of the past. One of the important motifs in this work is the influence that the press exerts on the formation of public perceptions of the mafia, which, in turn, influences the fate of the clan representatives. Based on these books, the article concludes that, unlike some fiction books, in which the given image is either romanticized or demonized, literary nonfiction books by G. Talese and J. Breslin present a more multidimensional image of a well-known criminal organization and its members.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мафия</kwd><kwd>художественно-документальная литература</kwd><kwd>документальный роман</kwd><kwd>мифологизация</kwd><kwd>национальная идентичность</kwd><kwd>Г.
