A short story is a short, compact type of prose that is easy to read. At the present time, the reader's demand for small genre prose and novels-volumes is special. Therefore, the study of modern stories is relevant. The main purpose of the research article is to determine the features of life phenomena and author's ideas that make up the content of modern stories. The research is based mainly on the materials published in the newspaper "Kazakhskaya literatura" for the last five years. . As an object, the stories of such writers as K. Mukhanbetkaliyev, T. Nurmaganbetov, N. Dauitauly, M. Baigut, S. Asylbekuly, A. Altay, Zh. Shashtayuly, B. Ibrahim, K. Tumenbay, A. Kemelbaeva, M. Omarova, E. Abikenuly, K. Tileukhan, A. Kurmanbayeva, A. Zhubanysh, E. Kanikelyu, N. Kakenov, G. Nurlankiny, A. Askarov, D. Akhmetova, Zh. Kenesarin, E. Aibolsyn, D. Ahmetuly, M. Kaldybek, T. Abdraim, T. Ryskeldiev, A. Baibol, S. Sagintai, A. Myrzakhmet, E. Bakash, T. Aljanuly. Life situations, which are the basis of the stories, were grouped according to their thematic features. These are systematized and determined by the author's views on the topic. One of the main tasks of a writer is to support the national interest in his work. In modern stories, the position of the writer is determined by the causes of contradictions in connection with various changes in society, the market, scientific progress, political and social events, and the system of national values. One of the main tasks of the study is to identify the features of the depiction of the reality of life in synchronous stories written on historical and ecological topics that were censored in the Soviet period or about the abuses of Soviet power against the Kazakh people. . The influence of social problems on human psychology and behavioral changes was analyzed by a resident anthropologist. The relationship between social reality and artistic reality, which is the subject of the story, is defined. Thematic coverage and topical ideas of modern stories were discursively analyzed.
