The humanist concern of Jozef Puškáš

Yuri Bogdanov

pp. 172-180

In the complex body of contemporary Slovak prose the works of Jozef Puškáš have won themselves a unique position for both their aesthetic and their extra-aesthetic significance. The period of Puškáš's growth to creative maturity coincided with the general "face-lift" undertaken by Ballek, Habaj, Jaroš, Šikula and others. Set against the grand epic canvases which constitute the major achievement of Slovak prose in the 1970s and 1980s, and a literature of growing national historical self-awareness, the Puškáš line looks modest, yet, it is no less productive.
