Summary/Abstract: A part of the critical tradition on the works of Pavel Vezhinov and Ladislav Fuks emphasizes a specific way of confluence between real and unreal in their writings from the 60s and the 70s of the 20th century. The main thesis of this study claims that this happens not only in the frame of the fictional worlds but also inside them as a structure called here: ‘inscribed subjective fictionality’. Some of the tasks of this study are: to clarify theoretically the terms connected to the interaction between real and unreal; to analyze the occurrence of fictional worlds in the literary works; to analyze the construction of inscribed fictionality and to define its place in the texts; to find the position of the inscribed fictionality in the literary and cultural context in the second half of the 20th century.
