Abstract

The author examines the work of two of the most famous writers of the Russian underground – V. Pelevin and V. Sorokin, who expressed the crisis of the great humanistic tradition. The author analyzes the reasons why V. Sorokin refuses “his” author’s style and writes through recognizable literary discourses from the XIX century to socialist realism, and in later prose – through modern media dialects. In contrast to the “male” letter, the article presents a new “female” prose – a work that carries the message of the writer’s, scientific and cultural project-book B. Orlova “Anthropology of everyday life, non-fiction”. The material of the observation is oral history of the indigenous inhabitants of the Angara region (genre of anthropological, sociological, modern historical, ethnographic studies), and the method of their arrangement is collage. This explains the genre borderline of the work, which combines everyday mythology and cultural geography of the people (man).
