Literary tradition in the satirical prose of Alfonz Bednár

Halina Sivachenko

pp. 59-69

Abstract

We are at present witnessing a powerful revival of the grotesque in connection with the traditions of "folk ludicrous' culture. The satirical works of the prominent Slovak writer, Alfonz Bednár, Pri holbách smoly (Tankards of tar, 1978) and Za hrst" drobných present a vivid example of grotesque based on animal mataphor.
