The study reflects on the changes in the attitude of Czech writers towards politics and social events after 1989. Primary renunciation of mutual attachments and overlaps between literature and social life represented namely by Jiří Kratochvil was gradually replaced by a situation typical for the history of the Czech literature in which literary works usually presented an active reflection on political and social events. The process of escaping the “trap of aestheticism” was accompanied by an intense and long-standing dispute on the issue of politically and socially committed literature. In the paper, Milan Kozelka is considered the most noticeable critic of contemporary political events in Czech society.
