Abstract

Uzbek biofiction is a new genre often seen as a type of historical novel. Most studies focus on its style, structure, and how it mixes facts with fiction. Researchers also look at its use of cultural elements like legends, tales, and proverbs, comparing it to similar works from other countries. However, they often stick to a strict view that limits the genre to history. Modern Uzbek biographical novels, like Nodir Normatov’s The Last Testament of Ruzi Choriev, go beyond telling historical stories. They explore current issues like self-identity and national identity. These novels show the genre’s potential to reflect and influence society, which means it’s time to rethink how we classify and understand them.
