Abstract
The article studies the mythopoetics of Yuri Buida’s prose.
Its task is to identify the author’s myth that structures the artistic world of the prose writer - it is based on archetypal structures and cultural mythology.
We have revealed the reasons for commonality of Yuri Buida’s fundamentally different texts: his cycle “The Jungle” (2010), the novels “The City of Executioners” (2003), “Blue Blood” (2011), etc. are based on the authorial mythology, on the motif of a harlot city, at the same time, on reinterpreting Hieronymus Bosch’s family history and his paintings, which determines Bosch’s aesthetic code in the writer’s style, embodied in the techniques of the grotesque, hyperbole and absurdity. The article investigates the system of Buida’s characters: it is derived from the nature of space, and each character embodies his myth in a name that unfolds into a narrative in the separate stories of the cycles. We examine the use of narrative strategies in legends and anecdotes, reflecting the genre features of Buida’s work: his works form a textual unity that goes beyond genre boundaries, uniting cycles of stories and novels. Such an unconventional polygenre cyclization constitutes a special mechanism of genre formation characteristic only of Buida.
