Abstract. The article deals with the problem of the genre and stylistic peculiarities of Mark Twain’s late philosophical works created in the 1900s. On the basis of M. M. Bakhtin’s theory, the author reveals the Menippean nature of the short story "Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven", the narrative-parable "No. 44, the Mysterious Stranger", "Letters from the Earth" relating to the dialogical line of the development of world fiction. In the work, the reasons for the American writer’s use of the ancient philosophical genre of the Menippean satire and its opportunities are identified; the updating of the Menippean satire genre in Mark Twain’s works is shown.
