Abstract
The article offers an interpretation of the earliest conceptual novel by the famous Russian novelist Vladimir Sorokin “The Queue” (1985). The authors of the article have implemented a new approach to the text of a modern conceptual novelist. If traditionally V. Sorokin’s novel was perceived by critics mainly from the side of the originality of its form, with the actualization of the author’s appeal to the pictorial art objects of conceptual artists (I. Kabakov, V. Pivovarov, D. Prigov et al.), then in this article a different research perspective is justified — the need to look at the Sorokin text as a creative realization of a capacious speech metaphor, as the embodiment of the image of a “language monster” — the hydro-like essence of a “living” queue.
