Abstract

The article deals with a semantic role of the image of the author in the fictional narrative of the magic realism novel “Blackberry Wine” by the British writer Joanne Harris. The study centres around the subject and event spheres of the fictional chronotope, which reflects a complex mosaic of the narrative text formation, and discusses a magical component of the fictional space. The authors of the article examine the methods of explicit and implicit representation of the image of the author in a fictional narrative and emphasize the predominance of the character subjective sphere in the novel.
