Reception games of Dušan Taragel (the non-actor) by Peter Darovec

“…The article analyses the forms of literary games with genres on the works of contemporary Slovak prose writer Dušan Taragel (1961), drawing on texts spanning his entire oeuvre from his debut book Rozprávky pre neposlušné deti a ich starostlivých rodičov (Stories for naughty children and their caring parents, 1997) to his latest novel Mafiánske balady (Mafia Ballads, 2022). A more extensive interpretation is dedicated to this recent novel, as it serves, in many respects, as a bridge between the present and the author’s creatively productive decade of the 1990s.…”
