Abstract
The paper focuses on the fact that in the novel “Biohrafiya vypadkovoho chuda” (“The Biography of Accidental Miracle”) Tanya Malyarchuk creates a kind of matriarchal world, which is characterized by a number of important urgent problems that are specific to the Ukrainian society at the boundary of the XX – XXI centuries. Unemployment, criminality, corruption, family violence, bureaucratic arbitrariness, social insecurity, protection of ecology and others are among them. Representing deep crisis manifestations in various spheres of the Ukrainian life of that time, inability of men to cope with life challenges, the author resorts to the outright parody or even the caricature, she depicts men as complete nonentities, makes fun of them in different ways, including giving men the female characteristics. There are no answers to the important social issues raised in the work. So, we can just hope for a miracle.
