“The Novel” by V. Sorokin illustrates the possible application of the category of aesthetic integrality
to postmodern novel. Stylistic eclectics does not impede the organization of the text in “The Novel”,
development of the author’s strategy which is displayed in the name of the work (“Роман” - roman –
stands for “the novel” in Russian), selection of material for stylization (classical Russian novel of the
19th century), gradual transition of prosaic rhythm to poetic rhythm. The game actualized by the author
of “The Novel” on the level of formal text organization creates the symbolic level of content, based
on mythological structures that demonstrate ineradicability of the literary phenomena. The specific
feature of aesthetic integrality in “the Novel” by V.Sorokin is the contradictory trends present in it,
providing incohesiveness and utmost consolidation at the same time. The conclusion of the article is
the following: notions of aesthetic integrality and novel can be applied to a postmodern work of art
not only as an element of parody, but also to reflect the real dynamic processes in literature that are
typical of the contemporary novel Предметом исследования является специфическая эстетическая целостность
постмодернистского романа В. Сорокина “Роман”. Статья обнаруживает противоречивую
авторскую стратегию, проявляющуюся как в разрушении, так и сдерживании текстового
материала. Автор приходит к выводу о наличии в “Романе” продуманной композиции, движении
словесного материала от ритма прозы к ритму стиха, от имитации связанного сюжета к
возрастающему абсурду, от речевой многоголосицы к монологической речи. Стилистическая
эклектика не исключает наличия художественной целостности в “Романе”. Содержанием
романа является разворачиваемая автором игра, символизирующая восхождение к истокам
литературности. Русский классический роман подвергается деконструкции, обнажая пределы
формы жанра романа. Мифологические архетипические структуры в романе В. Сорокина
формируют игровое поле, способствующее возрождению пародируемых феноменов
