The article deals with controversies concerning the authorial self-presentation of the Slovak writer Peter Pišťanek (1960 – 2015) and changes his attitude towards the role of the writer underwent. In the 1990s, when Pišťanek was a publishing author and his work was widely discussed, he ostentatiously rejected the status of the writer. However, later, after he stopped being active as an author, he partially assumed it. Until then, he would repeatedly present himself as a non-elite word craftsman (worker). This radical public gesture brought him a unique position in the Slovak literary field in the early 1990s. He would degrade the status of the writer both in his public self-presentations and in the key works of his first creative period. In these, the characters of writers are portrayed with a radical irony. Paradoxically, at the break of the 21st century, after he publically declared that he no longer writes fiction, Pišťanek embraces the role of the celebrity author. This shift can be observed in his editorial activities, in interviews and journalism he authored at that time. Empathetic understanding of the character of the writer replaced the former ironic detachment.

This paper characterizes Vladimír Petrík as a literary critic and a literary historian with a humanistic orientation. Petrík´s all-life interest in literature is predominantly seen here as an interest in the human who produces literature and who it is meant for. This is also why Petrík preferred human reader´s empathy to a strict scientific methodology in order to approach literature. The study searches for such manifestations of Petrík´s human-centric conception of literature, especially for those in his book of memoir dialogues with Vladimír Barborík, which was published under the title of Hľadanie minulého času/In Search of the Past Time. In that book Petrík authentically depicts literature, men of letters and literary life of his times and that way also speaks indirectly of himself, especially as a perceptive, well-wishing as well as gently ironic observer of the literary world.
