ELEMENTS OF «MAGICAL REALISM» IN KIRA YARMYSH's PRISON PROSE

Abstract

Kira Yarmysh's novel «Incredible incidents in women's cell No. 3» is a prison prose, which traces the traditions of depicting the prison life of heroes in the camp prose of A.I. Solzhenitsyn. However, there are also elements of "magical realism" in her work. The relevance of the study of this problem is determined by the fact that the prison prose of K.Yarmysh is characterized by a new approach to depicting the realistic world in modern literature, including through elements of «magical realism». The reflection of elements of "magical realism" in Kira Yarmysh's novel «Incredible incidents in women's cell No. 3» is one of the most pressing problems in modern literature. The article shows the main ways of manifestation of the «unreal» in the work in the context of «mystical realism». The essence of the consistency of magical elements in relation to the real picture of the world of Kira Yarmysh is considered. The open ending is analyzed as an element of «mystical realism» in the novel Yarmysh. The essence of mystical visions and mythological references as an integral component of the author's «mystical realism» is investigated. It is concluded that the main character Kira Yarmysh accepts the «unreal», which is one of the elements of «magical realism».
