UPRAWDOPODOBNIENIE FIKCJI W POWIEŚCI SIERGIEJA ARNO SMIRITEL’NAYA RUBASHKA DLYA GENIYEV

Abstract

Into his novel Smiritel’naya rubashka dlya geniyev Sergey Arno, a con-temporary Petersburg author, entered a number of reflections on the ongoing crisis in Russian as well as world literature. In the way characteristic of his style, Arno refers to the problem of mass culture, and raising the issue of cultural globalization composes the basis for the bizarre idea of making literature entirely dependent on economic factors. Submissive to authorities psychiatry would be considered a great contributor to the novel’s plot. The text, which evidently car-ries out the objectives of literary fiction, by applying certain techniques is gaining the strength of realism, the absurdity becomes apparent and the world depicted appears more and more plausible.
