IS IT POSSIBLE TO WRITE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPERIENCE OF EXCLUSION? ŠMAUS, TUČKOVÁ, LAN PHAM THI

Summary/Abstract: Kateøina Tučková, Martin Šmaus and Jan Cempírek (Lan Pham Thi) are contemporary Czech writers, whose literary works comment on the situation of the social, national and racial minorities in today’s Czech society. The discrimination of Gypsies, the memory of German war crimes or the aversion to Vietnamese tradesmen become the focal topics of presentation in the novels of these writers and, on the other hand, function as the starting point of the discussion about the sense of collective exclusion in general. All of the authors try to express someone else’s point of view, which means that they make use of narrative signs of empathy.
