Summary/Abstract: In this paper, Brigid Haines’s remarks on the Eastern Turn of German-speaking literature will be considered in questioning the Czech literary canon concerning what is known as migration literature. Foremost among my working analyses will be terminological differences between migration literature, the poetics of nomadism, writing between worlds, as well as general observations on switching languages and multilingualism among Czech writers. Not least, the authors under study present the difficulties for literary scholars, at least those that operate with classification systems, in allocating works of national literature in whose language or under whose conditions they have not been written.
