The article analyzes the topological peculiarities of Odessa embodiment in B. Khersonsky’s essays from the perspective of the ”essay of place” as a peculiar variation of the writer’s literary platform in topological format, which is a continuation of verbal searches, established in other practices, the ones that are already traditional for the writer. Odessa is outlined through the important topographic accents made by the means of reflection, the author’s personal attachment to topological realities rooted in the past, and their experience, attraction to theorizing the phenomenon of space itself as an object of reflection, factor of identity. Attention is drawn to the artistic and intellectual side of experiencing the problems of Odessa and the people who represent it or are associated with it in the collection of B. Khersonsky ”The Patched Blanket”. The complex socio-cultural, mythological, political, historical, religious, ethnic, linguistic and other inclusions of a city with more than 200 years of history are the levers of this experience, thus creating images and essays whose nature is cultural, historical, mythological and individual-existential at the same time.
