Порядок хаоса. Повествовательная структура Школы для дураков С. Соколова: повествовательные и соединительные элементы

S. Sokolovʼs Shkola dlia durakov takes us on a journey through the chaotic mind of a deranged adolescent. The mental condition of the narrator allows the author to undertake the most daring narrative and linguistic experiments. This paper explores the textual level of the novel: its language and various narrative strategies and techniques. The distinction is made between narrative (substantive) and binding (instrumental) elements. The resulting classified inventory enables me to outline the complex structure of the novel and describe the role of different types of elements within the stream of consciousness in their relation to the main subjects of the novel.
