This paper reviews four books, all dedicated to the study of the science fiction genre and the biography of science-fiction writers. They were published in Russian in an extremely limited number. These books include a collection of articles by Wojciech Kaitoch, biographies of Arthur Clarke and Robert Heinlein written by Neil Mcaleer and William H. Patterson, respectively, as well as a biography of Stanisław Lem compiled by his son Tomasz. The authors of all biographies come from fundamentally important circumstances in the lives of the writers. The main approach to exploring the biographies under consideration is annual chronicle, which allows getting involved in the most diverse materials. For American biographers, a very important part of the biography is also sexual orientation and preferences. On the contrary, the Polish literary critic W. Kaitoch uses the modern methods in his literary research and turns towards the biographical approach only when there is no way to otherwise explain the features of the analyzed text. W. Kaitoch is skeptical of the idea about any possibility of revealing the author’s intention. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that, under the conditions of media sphere dominance, specialized limited-edition publications in the field of the humanities are of interest to an extremely small number of specialists and literary fans.

The trilogy of Konstantiniyye, written by the twenty-first-century Turkish writer Ali Teoman and composed of three books named Infantile Deaths in Sleep, Blackhole Dairy and The Horses of the Night, has been completed in 2011. As they appear to be related more in a complementary way than by a state of continuity, the three novels demonstrate characteristics and particularities which can be considered in the context of postmodernist narrative and science fiction subgenre. In this paper, the three novels that have been mentioned above will be examined, through concrete evidence, regarding their stylistic and expressive elements that might be associated with postmodernist narrative. Furthermore, this paper, by taking into consideration the notion of time as it is represented in the work of Teoman, will show in what manner the latter possesses the traits of the subgenre of science fiction, by underscoring, at this stage, the anachronistic character of that temporal aspect.
