Abstract
The article examines a novel by a Vietnamese writer Nguyen Xuan Khanh “A Story That Happened in One Alley” (2016), unexplored in either Russian or Western literary studies. Using biographical and cultural-historical methods, the article examines the issue of nature of power in the novel. It reveals the writer’s assessment of the national liberation revolution of 1945 and the people’s democratic system established after it. The article makes an intertextual analysis through allusions in the novel to works of world literature of a dystopian and absurdist nature.
