Ludmila Ulitskaya is considered by many to be a master of the short fiction, and her novels are seen sometimes as an unsuccessful attempt to transcend the principles of the short forms. This article argues that Daniel Stein, Interpreter (2006; Eng. trans. 2011), The Big Green Tent (2010; Eng. trans. 2015) and Jacob’s Ladder (2015; Eng. trans. 2019) are a special type of the novel based on a duality that Yuri Lotman identified as the basic principle of the functioning of the semiosphere. The plot structure of Ulitskaya’s novels is, on the one hand, discrete, that is, manifestly and strongly fragmented in space and time. On the other hand, however, it is continuous, that is, clearly unified through trans-symbolization of the structure, which is less perceptible on the surface. These non-explicit structural connections gain symbolic attributes and play a fundamental role in ensuring the unity of the plot in three of Ulitskaya’s works.

This article is an attempt at the analysis of the corporality theme in the stories of the contemporary Russian writer Ludmila Ulitskaya. Holding a qualification in biology and genetics, Ulitskaya courageously introduces into her works such dimensions of human biological existence as sexuality, labour, menstruation or terminal disease. Mysterious incurable diseases, borderline situations, initiations, moments of crisis or breakthrough are standard components of her literary world. The corporal dimension of human life appears to be an inexhaustible source of truth about the characters’ spiritual condition as philosophical and metaphysical meanings are hidden under the layer of their biological existence. The writer effectively proves that Man is a sum of ‘the biological’ and ‘the spiritual’. In her writings the corporality becomes a universal code, provoking the everlasting and most difficult human questions of the sense of life, suffering, old age and death.
