TO THE QUETION OF space organization in J. Updike’s stories (based on the image of town Olinger)
In this article, an attempt is made to reveal the spatial and temporal organization of the stories of the American writer John Updike, expressing the culture of Americans. The material of the study is 11 stories of «Olinger stories» from the collection «The early stories: 1953-1975». The analysis reveals an autobiographical motive in Updike's works. The image and appearance of the town Olinger are formed by the subject-object continuum in the form of different sets of cultural reality, the author's experience and emotionally-filled inclusions.
