Abstract: The subject of the present research is the analysis of one of the aspects of a structural and figurative organisation of a literary text, in particular, integration of literary text elements of different functional styles. In the given figurative literary text inclusion of functional academic prose and business communication performs certain functions as a part of the writer's narrative strategy. These functions are performed in the aforesaid literary text in different volumes and through different means. In terms of the interdiscourse theory, analysis and description of the structure of compositional and language forms of intertextual interaction in a literary text correspond to modern views on the nature and essense of the artistic communication process that implies intergration of different functional styles as the factor of developing traditional genres and appearance of new narrative genres in general and new literary genres in particular. The linguistic research is performed on the basis of the method of contextual interpretative analysis as well as the descriptive method that combines observation, comparison and theoretical generalization of the results of analyzing the language material. The results of the research demonstrate that the interdiscourse strategy is used in Gunter Grass' novel as a result of his using elements of different discourse in a literary text, in particular, the writer used elements of historical, military, political and scientific discourses. Combination of these different elements creates an illusion of factual narration.
