Summary/Abstract: The current study consists of four parts. It opens with a brief survey of the term authentic and with a specific delimitation of the concept with regard to the contemporary literature. In the second part, the study shows the mode of the writing of Tereza Boučková which presents itself/is presented as “authentic”. The third part examines the ways in which the characters and embedded journalistic texts in the novel The Year of the Rooster (2008) interact with their emblematic counterparts. The fourth part brings a conclusion, stating that the characters and journalistic texts in the novel present an emotional “over-writing” of the publicly shared emblems – a practice which paradoxically does have its effect on the emblems itself.
