Summary/Abstract: The article examines the features of the plot-composition structure of every finished novel by the modern Ukrainian writer Oles Ulianenko, including Stalinka and Perly I svyni (The pearls and the pigs), having researched how standard elements, such as exposition, conflict, rising action, climax and resolution, are realized conventionally and non-conventionally in these literary works. The research results are as follows: the linear and sequential variant of the plot-composition structure of Oles Ulianenko’s novels is broken not because of the dynamics determined by the outer factors but due to the atypical plots. Besides, these structures are characterized by the socially oriented author’s discourse. However, the social array of the novels is united with the corporal background of the social and personal existence of the characters in the works under analysis, and with intentions to comprehend ontological senses which are formed on the border of the controversial phenomena, social and corporal existence in particular.
