Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the narrative structure of Aleksandr Solženicyn’s novel V kruge pervom. She examines inner monologues and dialogues and finds both homophonic and polyphonic features in them. She proposes to label this special case as heterophonic, which is meant to be a kind of alloy of homophony and polyphony and whose function is probably to underline the need for dialogues in a society subdued to one idea and one voice.
