Narrative specifity of Sasha Sokolov’s novel Between Dog and Wolf is determined by a tendency to expose liminality, by a fascination of heterogeneity and fluidity of the text’s meanings. The novel’s characters are thus variable, complex and ambiguous. The narrative style shimmers as a sophisticated mix of different types and modes of language, different tones, emotions and attitudes. A scrappy plot can be hardly re-established by reader, which finds herself deeply involved in the play of multi-faceted interferences and altered repetitions.
In this paper I examine the relationship between philosophical postmodernism broadly understood and the spiritual condition of man. The starting point is the four ingredients of worldview given by Leszek Kolakowski that foster ”confidence in life” and spiritual safety. All of these are rejected by postmodernism, thus showing its destructive influence on the spiritual condition of man.
