DESPISED AUTHORS, MURDERED CRITICS, HATED PUBLISHERS, USELESS READERS (REFLEXION OF THE CZECH LITERARY LIFE IN THE CZECH PROSE AFTER 1989)

Summary/Abstract: This article treats a specific phenomenon in Czech‘s prose after 1989 – the frequent appearance of novels, whose plot is limited almost entirely to describing the real Czech literary life, the different institutions that make it happen (authors associations, literary periodicals, publishing houses, reviewers, critics, bookshop owners, readers), and their relationship to the „institution“ of the author. The author – a character in the novel, is often an auto stylization of the text‘s real author, while the representatives of the other institutions are real life‘s people, only slightly disguised. The relationships between them are as a rule relationships of strong negativism and tension. This article tries to point out the reasons for this state of things.
