This study aims to show to what extent the condition of orphanhood affects the narrative and characters in Jáchym Topol’s early 21st century novels, Noční práce (Night Work [2001]) and Kloktat dehet (Gargling with Tar [2005]). Using insights from the field of childhood studies and from research on fairy tales and myths, the author seeks to demonstrate how orphanhood plays a significant role in both novels. He achieves narrative disruption by letting the orphan narrators permanently inhabit a “misty world of affects” where their interpretive skills are not fully developed and where they themselves are constantly trying to distinguish between reality and unreality.
