Abstract.
The satirical modus in M. Spark’s late creative work is determined by a number of factors, such as the English satirical tradition, the influence of the aesthetics of postmodernism and the dialogization of satire. The article is devoted to the analysis of the literary features in the novel “Symposium” from the point of view of the theory of the dialogization of satire. The following characteristic features of the writer’s creativity are manifested: the presence of religious and moral problems, the lack of didacticism, the expressed distance between the writer and the reader, play with genre models and reader’s expectations, the use of paradoxes, irony, sarcasm as the main means of creating images. Special attention is paid to the technique of characters’ self-exposure.
