Srpny by Jakub Stanjura: Prosaic Debut in Contemporary Czech Literature
Jakub Stanjura (born 1995) in his prose Srpny (Brno, Host 2023) deals with the so-called gaslighting (specific form of psychological manipulation). The author of this paper sets Stanjura’s debut briefly in the context of other debuts that came into existence at the same time. Our paper also sees the prose in the historic context of Czech literature and characterises Stanjura’s narrative strategies exploited for literary depiction of psychological manipulation. The text analyses Stanjura’s specific treatment of time (functional ellipsis), space (Prague settings) in the narration and the relation between the narrator and the character. In our paper we also consider how these means participate on forming the central topic of pathological relations.
