The goal of the paper is to demonstrate the postmodern nature of Dušan Dušek´s collection of short stories named Ponožky pred odletom /Socks before Taking off/. The literary critical analysis of the collection has support by scientific basis in literary scientific works written by Tibor Žilka, who is the one among the other Slovak authors that has described the area of research in most detail. The scientific study shows that the latest book by Dušan Dušek implements currently the features of a postmodern text and can be classified by Tibor Žilka´s standards as the palimpsest type of prose. The central characteristic of Postmodernism as well as Dušek´s collection becomes intertextual connection achieved by intertextuality and meta-textuality. The short stories include a number of quotations from folklore, newspapers and books by well-known writers as well as family members. The individual quotes are not excluded sentences and form its inseparable part due to the fact that they complement the narrator´s (author´s) thoughts and memories. The other type of intertextual connection employed by the author and proving the postmodern nature of the short proses is meta-textuality effectively used in various ways, in particular: by commenting on the literary text itself, by putting a character in the text, or by quoting the writer´s own literary texts published earlier. The contribution of the paper can be seen in repeatedly showing and highlighting the characteristic of Postmodernism, i.e. intertextual connection and its practical application to the collection mentioned above.
