The fiction of Jáchym Topol and Marek Toman shows individuals trying to navigate confusing realities in today’s difficult-to-interpret world. A central motif in their novels is loss of meaning and the search for new points of orientation. Such writing addresses crises of understanding and seeks ways out of a labyrinth in which meaning has gone astray.
