ABSTRACT

The paper centers around a possible line of interpretation of literature-reality intercourse with the help of author-figure mediation. The autobiographical disposition of the latter in A ballad to Georg Hennih fictional space is what scientific lenses are set upon. Considered the opening first part of an autobiographical trilogy (followed by Germany – a dirty story, and A love story autopsy), A ballad to Georg Hennih short novel inaugurates autofiction as Victor Paskov’s literary style and means of recognition. The ballade’s world is based on a playful dialogue between fictional and real, skillfully handled by Paskov’s own maneuver of questioning author’s status in the twofold manifestation of self-revealing and being a novel’s character. The self-revealing dimension is imbued with childhood trauma thus launching the long-term journey of answering the essential question “Who am I really?”
