Once again about Vlast’s Labyrinths as a historical precedent in the formation of national artistic prose

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the specificity of narrative solutions in Labyrinths – the most surprising among Vaclau Lastousky’s works, which has no analogues in the Belarusian literature of that time. A number of significant examples are analyzed (the first encounter’s event, invisible publisher’s existence, the play by paratext etc.), which are the direct evidence of attempts of conscious “implementation” of internal dialogic possibilities of artistic expression as well as of author’s idea of polysubject narration creating. Among the author’s active use of polyphonic statement dialogized text constructions in a continuous discourse of an I-narrator are studied, as well as the change of observation focus on different narration sections and relatively developed characters nomination system. Thus, the “Labyrinths” should be attributed as the story, in which for the first time for Belarusian literature a completely new author’s strategy of a literary work composing is revealed.
