The aim of the paper is to identify the dominant features of A. Kim’s style that influence the formation of writer’s genre preferences, determined by researchers within the boundaries of magical realism. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: to identify the dominant features of A. Kim’s individual style; to argue for the genre complexity of his prose as well as genre-style dominants indicating the individuality of writer’s style; to explain the functions of techniques, a priori considered by researchers to be features of the phenomenon of ‘magical realism’. As a result, based on the literature of the issue and the works of modern researchers, the article clarifies some essential features of writer’s individual style: techniques forming the philosophical plan of a work or the illusion of philosophies. Special attention is paid to the clash of ‘far-off ideas’ (M.Yu. Lomonosov), to the role of conflict, and its multilevel nature, reflected in the inner form of the prosaic whole. The article also focuses on the specific forms of verbal painting that affect the nature and complexity of the content. The manner developed at the beginning of A. Kim’s creative career (the novels “Squirrel”, “Father-Forest”, “Picking mushrooms to the music of Bach”, etc.) is recognizable in his later work and makes it possible to judge not only the artistic and meaningful significance of writer’s work, but also how well he reflects the current problems of his time.
