Summary/Abstract: Abstract: The novel by Czech exile and underground author Jan Pelc is one of the most infamous novels of the 1980s. The book presents a particular model of underground subculture and focuses on a group of youths who do not fit to mass society or totalitarianism. Decadent, overthrown and fully removed from social conventions, these youths live according to their own rules. They live in permanent danger to their lives. This is where the main question comes in: is this the common Czech underground, or is this literary image just a possibility? This novel evokes ambivalent comments.
