Abstracts

EN

Alta Vášová returned to her literary roots in the mid-1990s. The paper deals with the expert reading, analysis of and comments on the proses that she included in her book titled Ostrovy nepamäti (The Islands of Non-Memory, 2008) overlapping with her later books Sfarbenia (Colorations, 2011) and Menoslov (The Name List, 2014). The paper is an attempt at identifying the particularity of the writer´s biographical writing, focus on detail and fragment as meaningful parts of the whole message in the original autobiographical writing. A part included in the paper is a reflection on stylistic possibilities of non-pragmatic narrative, which eliminates the borders between the author, the narrator and the genre in favour of new text strategies.
