Features of autobiographical prose V. Kataev

In the memoirs of 'new prose' V.P. Kataev almost completely mastered the semantic potential of the forms of organization of narrative and chronotope. Thus, space and time in the hero’s consciousness turn into forms of expression of his state and experience. The novel 'My Diamond Crown', as a significant phenomenon of art, has a special energy of aesthetic impact, since the style of the novel is characterized by a large internal capacity, the ability to influence readers not only of our time, but also of subsequent eras. Spiritual contacts between the author of a novel and readers are an incentive that has a huge impact on the structure of the work and its style. The artist’s desire to express the ideas and images that excite him is understandable. And this desire, we believe, is inseparable from V.P. Kataev’s desire to convince the reader of the vital, aesthetic significance of the images he creates, to captivate the reader with the entire structure of the narrative, the development of the plot.
