The article is devoted to the study of the components of V.P. Sysoev's autobiographical metatext that organize the artistic space of his works. The work highlights the dominant autobiographical leitmotifs of V.P. Sysoev's prose, analyzes the typological features of the representation of the autobiographical invariant at the levels of the character system, the plot - compositional organization, and the ideological and artistic level. As a result, it was proved that the system of characters and the event - driven canvas of V.P. Sysoev's works is based on the autobiographical experience of V.P. Sysoev as a scientist, game manager, teacher and naturalist writer. An autobiographical invariant, in addition to the scientific biography of V.P. Sysoev, reconstructed on the basis of archival materials, is the autobiographical story “Rebellious Spirit”. The autobiographical metatext of V.P. Sysoev is a roll call of recurring leitmotifs and plot schemes from test to text (motive of travel, motives of hunting, motive of motherhood and childhood, motive of apprenticeship; scenes of successful and unsuccessful hunting, encounters of heroes, invariant natural locations, etc.). It also manifests itself in the stability of dominant features in the images of prototypical characters. Idealization and artistic transformation of the biographical invariant is the main artistic method of unfolding autobiographical discourse. The analyzed factual material allows us to draw a conclusion about the dominant role of autobiographical narrative in modeling the artistic space of small genres of natural history hunting prose.

Key words: autobiographical metatext, autobiographical narrative, fictional autobiography, natural history prose V.P. Sysoev
