Abstracts

The aim of this manuscript is to define and analyse the elements proving that Milada Součková’s debut text První písmena can be considered an example of labyrinthine prose. In the prose context, we can consider both the labyrinth motifs as a symbolic part of the plot, as well as the labyrinthine form and structure, which are characterized by certain fixed criteria. The so-called “labyrinth effect” is created through the seemingly confused composition of the text, which primarily results from the arrangement of the episodes. The labyrinthine text is characterized by the apparently chaotic composition, which is a kind of spatial montage with both pointwise and omnifarious meanings.
