Abstract The paper delves into the temporal and spatial aspects known as Chronotopes propounded by Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975) underlaid in the non-fiction ‘Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from the Afghanistan War’ (1992) of Svetlana Alexievich (1948). The concept of chronotope has special significance in understanding the text in its historical and cultural context. The Chronotope helps to understand the meaning construed by the author in contemporary settings to discover the connotative meaning of the art form. This paper attempts to study the narrative of time and space relations that shape the non-fiction of Svetlana Alexievich to analyse the interplay of time and space to understand the voices of people who are either the victims of the war or the survivors of the war. The study also tries to interpret the non-fiction in the context of the war that lasted for ten years between the USSR and Afghanistan creating a lasting impact on the people of both nations forever.
Keywords Chronotope, Non-Fiction, Temporal, Spatial and Narrative.
