Annotation: This article is devoted to analyses of representation of identity crisis (disconnection between personality and character, consciousness diffusion, existential search of my own self) in Kseniya Buksha’s book "Opens inward". Firstly, we analyse complicated structural subject organisation of the text (diegetic and extradiegetic narrator, focalisators), which coexist in one statement. Secondly, it is investigated how diegetic space correlates with internal world of heroes. We come to conclusion 18 tales of this book are the narrative of subject of speech. He narrates about his traumatic experience by the voices of the heroes who can be interpreted as reflections of fragmentary, non-intact consciousness. Invariant plot of trying to restore a deficit of identity is constructed by unit cumulative scheme. Final disaster leads subject either to gaining his identity or to final catastrophe. Analysing of the scheme of the plot, composition, subject system, system of cross-cutting personages and details allows to make a conclusion about structural unity based on invariant sense. It is the idea of overcoming of existential inertia.
Keywords: Kseniya Buksha, "Opens inward", identity crisis, neosyncretism of consciousness, narrator, diegetic space.
