Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the originality of the narrative manner of the contemporarywriter Yaroslav Shipov, in whose texts the ideals and spiritual challenge of the heroes andstoryteller are always accompanied by a dense network of humor and common nonsense.Conclusions are drawn regarding the reasons for such a strategy. The prose by Shipov,though aimed at finding God’s presence in the world, is stylistically and problematicallyassociated with secular and social literature. It motivates the reader to do self-meditationand intellectual work based on the influence of suggestion.
