Author(s): Joanna Czaplińska
Subject(s): Czech Literature
Published by: Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu
Keywords: Jan Křesadlo; contemporary Czech literature; Czech literature in exile; Czech postmodern literature

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to demonstrate what is the function of erotica in Jan Křesadlo’s output. Even though the writer were accused of dissemination of pornography, erotic scenes that appear in his books are not an end in themselves. They functioned as allegory or metaphor, also as a form of revenge on his enemies and in one of the novels they are parody of contemporary Czech literature and presence of erotica in it.
