Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to recognize and explain grotesque elements in Laughable Loves by Milan Kundera, where I try to elucidate what constitutes the grotesque and all the ways it manifests in Kundera’s book. In addition, I suggest that in the given collection of short-stories two main types of grotesque can be found and thoroughly elaborate them.
