This article is centered on the work of the modern American writer D. Tartt. The genre and narrative constitutions of young adult literature are highlighted in her novels, which are described in the context of relying on the poetics of F. M. Dostoevsky’s novels. The article reconstructs mythological and symbolic models and images in the works of D. Tartt and F. M. Dostoevsky, as well as genetic and typological connections, both in genre and in the plot structures of the novels “The Goldfinch” and “The Idiot”.
