The article is addressed to the contemporary literary material – A.Grigorenko’s long story “The Blind Dudu Lost” (2016), where the variation on the theme of the modern “little man” is touched by the Siberian coloring and is originally inscribed in the context of family and social history of the second half of the last century. The “text” of everyday life is enriched in the work by mythopoetic associations and reaches the level of parable generalization.
