Summary/Abstract: The present article deals with the theme of food which is manifested in Kharms` story “The Old Woman” in two ways:metaphysical and socio-ethical. Fundamental to our research are the thematic plexuses:the interaction of the original theme of food, both with "Chinar" themes and motives of an ontological nature, and with the absurdist, ethical theme characteristic of the 1930s work of Kharms. As a result of the analysis, we conclude that the theme of food is employed by Kharms in the novella “The Old Lady” to reveal two artistic existence plans: existential-metaphysical and existential-social. These two plans of being define the peculiarity of Kharms` oeuvre.
