Автобиографизм как черта итоговой книги (на материале цикла рассказов Ю. В. Трифонова «Опрокинутый дом»)
Autobiography as a feature of a final book (based on the cycle of short stories Overturned House by Yuri Trifonov)

Summary/Abstract: The prism of literary criticism considers the trinity of early, mature and late stages of the writer’s artistic world and implies the idea of its evolutionary development. In Yu. V. Trifonov’s works, the evolutionary transitions are associated with the strengthening of the autobiographical principle, which is determined by the forms of characters’ ‘life-living’. They include the process of parting with illusions and ‘sensations of life’ in the early period of Trifonov’s writing, acceptance of the ‘reality of life’ in the mature one and the discovery of ‘knowledge’ in the late period. These processes ensured that Trifonov, who first invested his characters with selective autobiographical features, moved to the explicit autobiography in his last collection of short stories. The frank relations ‘Me – world’ established by the autobiographical hero of the short stories collection House Upside Down contribute to a radical change in Trifonov’s poetics, including narrative laconism (instead of detailed novel descriptions), an all-encompassing intention of memory excavation, the derivation of axiological ‘formulae of existence’.
