The research subject in this article is the writer’s diary as a genre in literature. The purpose of the article is to identify the specific features of works written in the form of a literary diary. The main thesis of the article is that the writer’s diary is an invariant artistic and journalistic genre, the “internal measure” of which is the author’s consciousness, expressed in the text using journalistic and artistic techniques. The study’s hypothesis is supported as follows: the definition of key terms, the analysis of the typology and genre-forming features of a literary diary, and the study of literary texts as examples of the existence of a given genre in literature. The research material is “Autobiographical sketches” of the writer and publicist Gerold Belger. The methodology of the work is based on the comparative-typological, structural-semantic, textological, historical-biographical, cultural-historical, and stylistic analysis of literary texts. The article’s authors proceed from the objective fact that documentary literature has evolved in the second half of the 20th century, increasingly penetrating the world of fiction and crowding out traditional genres. As a result, transitional invariant genre forms are formed that combine the features of artistic and journalistic styles. The authors believe that one of these genres is the writer’s diary, which has various invariants: memoirs, autobiographies, notes, and sketches.
