TOWER OF BABEL VS PINK HOUSE: THE PROBLEM OF AUTHENTICITY IN THE LINGUOPHILOSOPHICAL SPACE OF L. A. YUZEFOVICH’S NOVELS “ESPERO CLUB” (1990) AND “CASAROZA” (2002)

The aim of this study is to reveal the problem of authenticity in the linguo-philosophical space of novels. L. A. Yuzefovich, “Espero Club” (1990) and “Casaroza” (2002). The composition and the system of disclosure of images testify to the importance of authenticity in the artistic fabric of the texts, despite the fact that its presentation in a complex historical and cultural context, language-philosophical discussions and detective genre may make this problem not quite obvious. Starting from Heidegger’s understanding of authenticity, the authors pay attention to such properties as attitudinal sensitivity and the ability to accept the conditions of being.
