The article written on two discussions of the 1980s is a commentary of the literary-historical changes in that period of time. The author using two novels by the controversial writer Rudolf Sloboda tries to show how critics of the 1980s dealt with their presence in literature. The 1980s were the natural backgrounds for the problem. It is also important to realize how ambiguous they were. What is interesting in this context is the unstated presence of the notions author, subject, author´s subjectivity, authenticity and autobiography in the discussions about Sloboda´s writings. There, in two of the discussions appear names which represent rigid or more moderate criticism. At the same time, they are the accurate reflection of the literary criticism in the 1980s ranging from censorship to self-censorships methods.
