Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to two phenomena: postmodernism and pornography which have no strictly limited borders. Iin Jan Křesadlo output both terms are used to describe his works. There is no doubt that writer uses postmodernist means like playing with readers and with text itself, language games, emphasizing author's role as a creator of the world. Křesadlo's texts are also full of erotic, described in detail scenes, which is considered as pornography by some critics. However, analysis of the role of eroticism in author’s output leads to a conclusion, that it is always a mean for another aims like allegory, parody, criticism of human’s morality.
