Abstract

The article analyses one of the novels by the Goncourt laureate, member of Académie Française a French writer of Russian origin Andreï Makine (Woman who waited, 2004). In literary criticism, the complex and controversial issue of the national identity of the novelist, who writes in French but about Russia, often overshadows the poetic features of the prose itself. But the analyses of forms and ways of creating space and time in this novel and others enables us not only to understand the image of Russia that the author portrays, but to reveal the dialectics of interaction between modernism and post modernism, tradition and innovation in Andreï Makine’s works.
