Urgency of the research. The formation of cultural and social processes in the contemporary literary circle of Ukrainian national literature is an extremely relevant issue. For a deeper understanding of the national identity of the individual, Ukrainian modernist prose is analyzed through the prism of the psychology of national consciousness and cultural life reflected in literature. After all, the works of modernists focus on the inner state of the individual, on conflict situations that arise in moments of socio-cultural transformation. By studying these issues, we realize the global national challenges in the vicissitudes of the formation of literary studies.
