Genre Codes of Utopia and Anti-Utopia in V. Pelevin's Novel "S.N.U.F.F"

Abstract

The collection of novels and short stories "Yellow Arrow" contains works built according to the classical laws of the novel and short story genre ("The Hermit and Six-fingered", "Prince of the State Planning Commission", "Crystal World", "Blue Lantern", "The Problem of the Werewolf in the Middle ”, “The Origin of Species”, “Nika”, etc.). But in a number of cases, the genre structure of texts is complicated by the presence of “novel thinking”, which, existing in the text as an epic variety, opens the boundaries of a specific artistic reality, while simultaneously preserving the framework of a medium or small genre at the event level.
