Abstract
The article explores the semiosis of textual
categories of time and space in short fiction by
Breece D’J Pancake. The methodology of the
research is based on th e works by M. Bakhtin, Yu.
Lotman, G. Genett, P. Ricoeur and U. Eco. It has
been proved that the stories by Pancake replicate
several Biblical plots: the creation of the world and
the origional sin (“Trilobites”), a prodigal son
(“Time and Again”), the whore of Babylon / Mary
Magdalene (“A Room Forever”) and the
apocalyptical mark of the beast (“The Mark”). The
time is static and is marked by seasonality. The
space is segregated into macro-outer world and the
inner space of the towns, engulfing people’s
destinies and predetermining their down-to-earth
existence. The semantic system is represented by
the cross-cultural concepts: the lig ht as a sign of
hope; a room as an embodiment of a shelter; the
hollowness of the night, growing into the
hollowness of life; a rabbit embryo, symbolizing
the mark of the beast; a snake, serving as a symbol
of seduction; a train or a bus as the means of
escapism. Three rounds of coffee in “Trilobite”
