On the basis of analysis and interpretation of Veronika Šikulová’s prosaic authorship, the attention in the study is concentrated on the motif of absence of the father. Šikulová works with this motif in original way (in sequence to her former authorship). We can see some steady features in her author’s handwriting through the depicting of this motif. From these features, the most frequent are sensual perception of the reality and the using of the imagery (conspicuous symbolism) of the tongue. Sovereignty of the person of father in Šikulová’s texts is manifesting also because of the consistent work of the author with the literary space. The study primary comes out mainly from the titles Domček jedným ťahom (2009) and Miesta v sieti (2011), but she also takes into consideration author’s works Odtiene (1997), Z obloka (1999), Mesačná dúha (2002) and Diera do svetra (2012). Secondary, the study is grounded on the literary theoretical publication of Stanislav Rakús called Poetika prozaického textu (1995).
