The article considers the main directions of artistic research of the central problem of E. Grishkovetz’s novel «Asphalt» - genuine self-realization, contradictions between the external canvas of the life of a «successful person» and the absence of a true meaningful filling of it, corresponding to the deep internal needs of the individual. Three important aspects of comprehension the declared problem have been identified - dramatic, tragic and comic. The type of a «hero of our time» presented in the novel «Asphalt» is analyzed in relation to the traditions of the prose of writers - «forty-year-olds» and the «ambivalent» hero characteristic of their work.
