This article examines the issues of literary interrelations and typology in Karakalpak prose of the twentieth century, particularly during the 1960s–1990s. Special attention is given to the formation of the Karakalpak novel as a genre. The continuity of modern Karakalpak prose with national folklore traditions and classical Karakalpak literature is analyzed.

Based on comparative-historical and typological analysis, the study explores the problems of national and cross-cultural literary experience within the history of world literature. Through the analysis of the creation of artistic images in the short story «Галоши старика Сейдана» (“The Galoshes of Old Seydan”) by Ibrayim Yusupov, the novel «Дочь рыбака» (“The Fisherman’s Daughter”) by A. Begimov, the novel «Дочь каракалпака» (“The Karakalpak’s Daughter”) by Tulepbergen Kayipbergenov, and the novel «Судьба» (“Fate”) by S. Bakhadirova, the article investigates typological similarities with works by Russian, Uzbek, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz writers such as Ivan Turgenev, Mikhail Sholokhov, Anatoly Ivanov, Abdulla Qodiriy, Oybek, Saken Seifullin, Mukhtar Auezov, Chingiz Aytmatov and others.

The article also addresses issues related to the typology of the historical novel genre. Through a comparative study of historical novels by Leo Tolstoy, Maxim Gorky, Anatoly Ivanov, and Tulepbergen Kayipbergenov, the study explores the distinctive features of the historical narrative genre in national literature and its typological connections with epic traditions in the global literary process.
