This article reviews spatial organization in the novel A Distant Journey by B.K. Zaytsev. An important part of spatial organization is the category of the Other, which appears to be constitutionally significant. Position of the Other space or hero helps to highlight subjects substituting and interchanging, and the same is characteristic for locus. Both a character and a place can represent an example of The Other. Coming-of-age of a character comes from interacting with The Other, something different from the character’s Self. The comparison of the Self with The Other acts as a trigger for subject’s transformation.
A particular location happens to be connected with a particular narrative subject. Analysis of spatial structure of the novel allows to discover the patterns of subjective text organization transformation and to define important connections of particular places and characters.
Key words: Boris Zaytsev, A Distant Journey, narratology, Other, problem of space, character initiation
