Summary/Abstract: Different narrative structures (linear and nonlinear) interact in V. Tarnavsky's prose. Their functional content in the texts of the stories ("Alibaba", "Born from the foam", "Superman"), stories ("The Dissertation"), novels ("Matryopole", "Empty Pedestal") is the subject of a special study in the proposed article. The analysis of prose was carried out by the involvement of the method of naratological analysis. The greatest attention is paid to the forms of expression of the author's presence, as well as the characterization of the point of view embodied in the plot. Not less important is the stylistic manner of the artist, full of irony, mystifying techniques that reveal the essence of anti-totalitarian discourse, the prose of one of the best representatives of the generation of the eighties in the Ukrainian literature of the XX century, which in a persuasive artistic form masked the Soviet system with its ideologocentricity, which neglected the personality and humanitarian aspects of human existence, leveling the ontological needs of the individual and society. The prospect of further research of the narration in V. Tarnavsky's prose appears to be fruitful, which will enable us to find out the patterns of embodiment of author's consciousness not only in the philosophical and existential basis of prose, but also in the forms of his presence in the text.
