Abstract

The world of Yuri Andrukhovych's novels shows considerable internal cohesion through common places, appearing in all his novels. These places create a system, which became the subject of literary critics.

The author updates the pre- novel literary genres, which implies the plot of initiation novel scheme. The characters of Andrukhovych's novels meet the requirement of so-called " initiation triangle", which, combined with the theatricality and carnivality of characters, gives Andrukhovych's postmodern novels intersemiotic dimension.

Carnival is a fundamental issue of Andrukhovych's development and attracts the meanings relative to this cultural phenomenon. Carnivality also reflects post-modern practices of textual creation, such as metatextuality and intertextuality of literary work.

References to other texts put Andrukhovych's works in the context of analogous historical literary practices and genres.
