Summary/Abstract: Postmodernism is one of today’s most read and beloved literary movements, one which allows authors to freely experiment in writing and readers to freely interpret texts. A Scroll of Resolutions and A Bit of Space are thematically quite heterogeneous works that both allow for various interpretations and analyses of the stories contained in them. Anna Rău-Lehotská, a Slovak writer living in Romania, has, on one hand, publicly embraced Postmodernism; yet, at the same time, she uses only individual devices from the cannon, refusing to explicitly adopt it as a whole. Existence, being, and emotionality are the dominant phenomena she addresses and deeply cares about in her prose. In the study, these aspects are examined from the point of view of their functions and meanings in individual texts.
