Jarošovo „defenzívne čítanie“ magického realizmu
Jaroš’s defensive reading of magical realism

Summary/Abstract: The study considers the potential presence of the poetics of Latin American magical realism within the system of Slovak literature, particularly in the fiction of Peter Jaroš. In the first part the entropic nature of the concept magical realism is highlighted together with seve¬ral remarks about the presence of European sources in its structure (J. M. Meletinskij, A. Housková). Based on critical reflections on the fiction of P. Jaroš provided by V. Oleríny, S. Pokrivčáková, I. Sulík, V. Šabík and P. Zajac, the second part is an account of defensive forms of reading (H. Bloom) concerning the poetological initiation of magical realism into Slovak literature in the late 1970s.
