Abstract
The publicity dominance is the characteristic of memoirs “Force of Circumstance” by Simone de Beauvoir. The idea of S. de Beauvoir influences the genre transformation. The scientific problem is to clarify the specifics of a genre. The aim of the article is to highlight the features of the genres in the novels, diaries, memoirs, interludes, tragedies, comedies as genre memoirs, to understand better the ideas of the writer. The methodology is represented by a biographical method in the study. The most important findings are as follows. The result is to interpret systematic, structured, orderly procedural writing activities. The attention is drawn to the writing process. Writing is a passion, mania, which is causing an addiction. The meaning of creativity is the knowledge of people, culture, history, progress. Genre transformations are the basis for explaining the problem in the work: the artist's activity and her place in the history. The existential fear of death is a central part of literary existentialism. The writer embodied the death fear in her own works.
