Abstract

Actor’s prose is a scantily studied part of the literary process, whose origins in
Kazakhstan are associated with the names of K. Kuanyshbayev, K. Baysseitova, B. Rimova. Actor’s prose
is an confessional and autobiographical prose, which reflects both significant events of the culture of a
country and facts of individual creative fates. A sample of actor’s prose is a multi-genre prose by Assanali
Ashimov.
The article analyzes the genre diversity of A. Ashimov’s literary creative work. The peculiarity of
his first books – “Mairanyn Ani” (“Mayra’s Song”) and “Zhan Bolek” (“Special Soul”) is that by genre
they are books of reflection, books of repentance, written in the form of a “underlying conversation” with
souls of those people most dear to the author who passed away – wives and sons.
The diary genre is represented by the book “Menin Zhanrym – Kundelik” (“My Genre is Diary”).
It is minor to a certain author’s idea and is characterized by journalism, polemical nature concerning the
reality it describes.
The memoirs “With love. Your Assanali Ashimov” are the author’s literary journey with the reader
“along the waves of memory”.
