Abstract
The article analyzes the features of the artistic time in the novel by Vladimir Sharov “The Old Girl”. Having lost her husband in 1937, the main heroine of the novel Vera Radostina begins to read her diaries, and thereby starts back time, literally going into the past. The memory of the protagonist appears as a powerful force that transforms reality. A complex temporal structure is created in the novel, the key role in which is played by the image of the heroine’s diary, which, like a map, allows her to move in the space of her life. The identification of time and space in the novel ultimately leads that the movement of Vera into the past turns out to be the movement of the heroine to the author who created the novel, which allows the novel to be interpreted as a poetological one.
