Genre and stylistic individuality of contemporary novel
Research allowed us to reveal that the work of numerous contemporary writers is characterized by intensification of experiments with genre and style.Trilogy of A. Zhaksylykov «Dreams of cursed» may be an example of this trend.Psychological drama is combined with social and philosophic and intellectual novel.As a result of this combination the plot is not linear.Things are moving in different dimensions and cover memoirs, dreams, imagination of characters.Sensual world is interlaced with rational and irrational ones.Realms of everyday life are being widened to deep philosophical generalizations (Zhaksylykov, 2005).
The novel "The name of the rose" (Il nome della Rosa) written by U. Eco is characterized by combination of detective, historical, intellectual novel.Basing on things of distant past the other construct the plot as an investigation of crime committed in Abbey.But the real aim of the search of the novel's protagonist is truth, knowledge and spiritual experience.
The base of novels by H. Murakami is combination of deep psychological insight, philosophical generalizations, memoirs.Elements of fiction, detective, mystery, thriller and anti-utopia are joined in his works.Thinking over the problems of today life author uses them in the canvas of the most unbelievable events in the lives of his characters.

Zhaksylykov "Dreams of cursed".Characters are citing the works of scientists and spoke about the problems of everyday life.Their remarks contain citations of artistic works.ISSN 2039-9340 (print) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences

Ideas and topics of novel of late -turn of XXI century
Multilayer nature is typical for novels of late -turn of XXI century.Such levels as historical, philosophical, psychological, the layer of plot and composition may be defined in words of contemporary writers.These layers are tightly interrelated and form a single whole.This may be easily seen in novels by R. Seisenbaev "Dead wonder in sands", A. Nurpeisov's "Last honour", U. Eco's "The name of the rose", Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird's Chronicle, O. Pamuk's "Dzhevded-bei and sons", Ch.Aitmatov's "When the mountains fall (or Eternal bride)".Analysis of inner life of characters, their emotions, feelings, concerns, contradictions and motivations are interlaced with appeal to the history of people, thoughts about eternal ideas of happiness, good, truth, justice.
Modernization of the genre of novel manifests itself on the level of conflict.It has more complicated and contradictory and sometimes insoluble character.This approach allows opening the new facets in characters of novels, making reader think about the problems of contemporaneity (for example, like novels by A. Nurpeisov "Last honour", A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", D. Nakipov's "The ring of ash", U. Eco's "The name of the rose", H. Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Ch.Aitmatov "When the mountains fall (or Eternal bride)").
Solving conflict in works of today's writers "tends to open the layer of superpersonal, general".In-depth content of things of life is comprehended via the destinies of characters, from position of artistic world as «the second reality».The conflict defines «the scale of correlation of a person and time in novel» because the reality «grows through the conflict» (Alibaev, 1996).Issues risen by authors are concentrated around one central question that arises contradictions and became the cause of people's opposition.For example, Eco's novel contains the conflict between true and false, «secular and spiritual power», the poverty of Christ and richness; erotic and mystic love (Lem, 2007).In trilogy by A. Zhaksylykov "Dreams of cursed" the opposition lies between eternal and temporal, material and spiritual.

Principles and approaches of picturing reality
Contemporary novel is characterized by flexibility (Bakhtin, 2000).It combines variability and traditional character.This feature of novel manifests itself in its capability to transfer the logic of historical changes undergoing in society, in intensification of figurative word, value of metaphoric exposition that is so typical for contemporary writers.
Conditional forms of figurativity that serve as «purposeful, aesthetically valuable method of deformation of reality» and being the cause of tools of style used in literature is widely used in prose of late -turn of XXI century (Sheyanova, 2013).
Including of symbolic images and extensive metaphors is characteristic feature of contemporary novels.They enrich the content and give a special expressiveness to arisen issues.
Writers often use the method of exaggeration in description of things that allows picturing a certain thing more deep and in scale (for example, novels by A. Nurpeisov "Last honour", A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed").
Dreams have a special place in prose of late -turn of XXI century.Including dreams in novel allows author firstly to widen boundaries of space-time continuum, secondly, to think over phenomena of reality, thirdly to explain in details inner life of characters and show dynamics of their feelings and emotions (for example, novels by A. Nurpeisov "Last honour", A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", U. Eco's "The name of the rose", Ch.Aitmatov's "Stormy stop").
Synthesis of real and conditional forms allows writers to «develop colorful multilayer content.Social and everyday realities in addition to traditional meanings get additional philosophical semantics due to artistic means of creation of conditionality» (Sheyanova, 2013) and thus help to reveal ideas and topics of works, author's concept of being and personality.
Such method as mythology is widely used by contemporary authors.Approaching individual problem of a certain individual person writers often widen it to universal, general humanistic scale (for example, novels by A. Nurpeisov "Last honour", R. Seisenbaev's "Dead wonder in sands", A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", D. Nakipov's "The ring of ash", D. Amantai's "Flowers and books", O. Pamuk's "Dzhevded-bei and sons", Ch.Aitmatov's "When the mountains fall (or Eternal bride)").
Things of today reality are often rethought in works of writers of late -turn of XXI century via folklore images and motives.Writers include proverbs, sayings, myths, legends, fairy tales in their novels (for example, novels by A. Kekilbaev "The end of legend", D. Amantai's "Flowers and books", Ch.Aitmatov's "When the mountains fall (or Eternal bride)", M. Park's "Angels' landing place", G. Belger's "The house of wanderer").According to researchers they "make artistic structure of works more complicated, forms multi-dimensional nature of meanings, outline forms of circumlocution, make active signs and symbols, saturate novel with associations and reminiscences" (Zhaksylykov, 1999).
The works of folklore enrich the content of genre of novel.Applying for images and plots of ancient legends, myths, fairy tales writers comprehend moral and aesthetic ideals of contemporaneity.Folklore works give novels special colour, individuality and support deeper analysis of risen issues.Authors of contemporary novels sometimes apply to religion.In narrations about the ways of their characters and reasoning about the things of reality they use such sources as Bible, Koran and Buddhist sources.Authors want to reflect processes that go on in today world in all their multidimensional nature, understand the reasons of conflicts and contradictions, specifics of human consciousness that is why they include religious images and motives in structure and content of novels (for example, A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", U. Eco's "The name of the rose", Ch.Aitmatov's "Execution block").

Polyphony of contemporary novel
Prose of late -turn of XXI century is characterized also by polyphony.It may be seen in several levels of novels.First of all polyphony characterizes narration in works of contemporary writers.A. Zhaksylykov's "Signing stones" may serve as an example.Writer joins remarks of several characters in one paragraph without indication who is speaking.
Polyphony is also specific feature of composition, time-space continuum of novels.It manifests itself in joining events completely different in place and period in one paragraph or sentence (for example, novels by A. Zhaksylykov "Signing stones", A. Kim "Father forest") (Temirbolat, 2007).
Social and cultural reality of life of characters which the main action of a work goes in plays the most important role in contemporary novels.Writers often analyze the mind of people who are representatives of traditional world outlook.Writers trace the process of spiritual growth of a man by placing characters in the system of reality of today life.Characters "experience existential state of time that moves facing them with centuries-old problems.The present as endless repetition of sensations of the past, as experiencing moral obligations to the memory of predecessors" (Ismailova, 2007).Examples, novels by A. Nurpeisov "Last honour", R. Seisenbaev's "Dead wonder in sands", A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", A. Kim's "Father forest", Ch.Aitmatov's "Stormy stop".
Novels of contemporary writers are characterized by subject multi-facetedness.It is represented mainly in differentiation of characters' speech and author's word.Dominating points of view of participants of events is constantly changing by the way of narration.Events are described and characterized via perception of author, narrator, characters.Subject multi-facetedness is most vividly seen in A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", D. Nakipov's "The ring of ash", D. Amantai's "Flowers and books", A. Kim's "The island of Jonah", Ch.Aitmatov's "When the mountains fall (or Eternal bride)".
The polyphony of genre is typical for novels late -turn of XXI century.It has "collage" nature and is represented in "combination of various, sometimes contrast things and at the same time is oriented on mechanical transformation of these contradicting forms making them integral work" (Pesterev, 2001).
Multi-genre nature enriches the structure and content of prose works.It is the source of individuality of artistic world of writers, it deepens conflict, adds dynamics to plotlines.
Genre polyphony is defined by specifics of a novel itself that becomes the form that is characterized by free development and "does not know any law except narration" (Ropars-Wuellennier, 1997).
Different types of narration, genre variations are natively combined in works of contemporary writers.They make integral whole, a single genre due to the presence of "stable semantic core", that is formed due to "aggregate of dominating artistic methods that override all the other methods used to create the single whole" (Sharifova, 2012).At the same time they preserve individual characteristics that are being reflected in all the levels of poetics and content of a novel that in turn provide for communicativeness and syncretism of prose of late -turn of XXI century.

Composition of novel of late -turn of XXI century
Genre mixture causes addition of new elements and methods that are realized at the level of narration.Main reasons of this phenomenon are firstly trends of historical and cultural development of today society that cause the necessity of search for new artistic forms, secondly means of communication that have significantly broaden possibilities and horizon of writers, thirdly demand for changes in plot organization, strengthening of intrigue, deepening of life situations and collisions.
Collapsing of social time and space is typical for novels of contemporary writers.As a result their works tend to "move from linear time to cycle time, or to "freezing" of time, to increase of interpenetration of real and surreal" (Sharifova, 2012).
Trend to de-realization of events of works may be seen in novels of late -turn of XXI century.It causes transformation of story and plot."Genre memory volume increases due to strengthening of above-generic forms, trends to extra-genre types, including meta-prose, hypertexts" (Sharifova, 2012).This trend is represented in A. Zhaksylykov's "Dreams of cursed", D. Nakipov's "The ring of ash", D. Amantai's «Flowers and books», A. Kim's "The island of Jonah".Game techniques are often used in structure of works of contemporary writers as a "special sort of anti-mimetic strategy that binds author, text and reader" and that is "aimed on overcoming the power that is realized in mechanisms of language".A game "gives full and deepest freedom placing real heteronymia of things in the heart of servile language" (Lipovetski, 1997).Examples of these trends are D. Amantai's «Flowers and books», D. Nakipov's «The ring of ash», U. Eco's "The name of the rose".
