Abstract. The paper provides a comparative structural analysis of Sei Sh?nagon’s zuihitsu "The Pillow Book" and Julio Cort?zar’s novel "Hopscotch" through the lens of Umberto Eco’s "open text" conception. Scientific originality of the research lies in the fact that the structure of these literary works has not been previously investigated in this aspect. The conclusion is made that the works under study have a similar structure but belong to different "open text" types, which influences the choice of cohesive devices and an "author - reader" interaction model ("chorus" with Sei Sh?nagon and "game" with Julio Cort?zar).
Key words and phrases: открытое произведение, дзуйхицу, антироман, Х. Кортасар, Сэй Сёнагон, open text, zuihitsu, anti-novel, J. Cort?zar, Sei Sh?nagon
