Abstract
The article systematizes the information on the literary and critical heritage of the Tatar writer Fatih Husni (1908-1996), a master of Tatar prose, “a true wizard of language”. He has written dozens of articles in the genre of reviews, essays, literary-critical articles, creative portraits, open letters to writers, in which he raised the problems of literary creativity and reflected on the essence of the writer’s creativity. Our analysis is based on his collections of works “Uylanular” (“Thoughts Aloud”, 1961), “Ni aiterga? Nichek aiterga?” (“What to Say? How to Say It?”, 1974), “Karurmanga keram” (“I Will Enter the Dark Forest”, 1986). Contrary to the socio-logistical spirit of the Soviet era, F. Husni remained an “aesthete”, a champion of the unity of form and content. He was interested not only in “what” was written, it was more important for him to reveal in his works “how” it was written. The Tatar writer paid great attention to the study of creative laboratories of classics and his contemporary writers. In addition to theoretical assumptions, his works contain many practical tips for achieving the optimal artistic structure of literary works.
