Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of the genre and stylistic peculiarities of Max Kidruk’s novels Until the Light Fades Away and Don’t Look Back and Stay Quiet. It was found that this repre- sentative of the young generation of literature skillfully transforms elements of different genres and combines them in his prose, making it difficult to unambiguously define the genre of his works. These transformations are a characteristic feature of his original style, which is still insufficiently explored. Lexical units such as proper nouns, linguistic expression (barbarisms, exoticisms, vulgarism, etc.) and terms are presented in Kidruk’s works. In addition, there are almost no descriptions in the researched texts, but images-symbols or even footnotes and appendices appear. Max Kidruk’s work can serve as a source for further research in linguistic stylistics as well as in literary studies.
