The synthesis of narrative discourses of saga and anecdote in the book «Ours» by S.Dovlatov

In this article the synthesis of saga and anecdote in the book «Ours» by S.Dovlatov (1941-1990) is considered. The convergence of these pre-artistic verbal genres allows the author to go from the myth to the history, from the epic world to the world of novel. In other words, to make that radical change, which the famous literature specialist Mikhail Bakhtin wrote about. Moreover, equally involving the strategies of choral unanimity and dialogical disagreement, Sergey Dovlatov escapes from monologism and establishes a successful aesthetic communication between the author and the reader.
