Abstract.
The article studies the questions connected with the reception of creativity of the modern American writer Siri Hustvedt (1955). Special attention is paid to one of her popular novels “What I Loved” (2003). The authors of the article are interested in the peculiarity of representing the theme of loneliness in the work under consideration by the example of the main character of the novel - the artist Bill Wechsler. The key observations are founded on the significance of interpretation of the artist’s paintings, which is a necessary condition for revealing Bill’s inner world. The study of the narrative structure of this artistic text is based on the retrospective presentation of history.
