Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines the development of Kožmír’s interpretative method, from his early works such as Umění stylu (The Art of Style, 1967) or Styl Vančurovy prózy (Style in Vančura’s prose, 1968), up until his later studies, namely Modely interpretace (Models of interpretation, 2001) and Existencionalita (The Existential Situation, 2003). The key elements of his approach towards both fiction and non-fiction are analyzed: his style, the “blow-up” method, his treatment of both details and the literary work as a whole, the aphoristic nature and existential dimension of interpretation.
