The aim of the article is to characterize in general terms the main cotours of the so-called "Stanislav Phenomenon" (e.g. its decentralizing role in the contemporary literary process of Ukraine) and to analyze the principal elements of the writing of chosen authors (J. Andruchovych, T.
Prokhasko, J. Izdryk), i. e. „affiliation with Western postmodernism“, „geographism“, „carnival character of the writing“, „apocalyptic motives“
