Майстер корабля — письменницький дебют Юрія Яновського. Це модерністський роман, стилізований під мемуари, який передає атмосферу 20-х років двадцятого століття. Він має ознаки пригодницького, автобіографічного і водночас утопічного та мариністичного фантастичного романів. Текст побудовано як спогад оповідача й головного персонажа, але в його структуру також вплетено менші тексти, відмінні за жанром та стилістикою — це листи, фантазії, мрії, перекази, ідеї сценаріїв тощо. Таким чином читач стає свідком захопливого кількарівневого дистанціювання від реальності.
