The supplement of Tvar – TVARy – also published a small collection of stories:


Published books


– A collection of twenty three short stories expressing the feelings of a lonely man who finds the courage to approach people but looks for his place in life in vain; the main theme of these stories is finally death and the indifference to others and their indifference to the individual.
– A collection of forty two stories on various themes linked by the feeling of the rootlessness and groping of a man – his embarrassment over his life and interpersonal relations, his fear of other people; the book is in stark contrast to the first but is in fact a continuation.
– The next collection of short stories is based on extraordinary experiences of the narrator, who appears in them in a range of unusual forms but in an unchangeable role; the literary and existential testimony of an individual looking for someone and dreaming about making love to them.
