The study focuses on the works of prose by contemporary Czech philosopher, biologist and essayist Stanislav Komarek, specifically on three novels, sometimes referred to as "irregular trilogy": Opšlstisova nadace (Opšlstis Foundation, 2002), Černý domeček (Black House, 2004) and Mandaríni (Mandarins, 2007). With the use of analytical-interpretive probes the study aims to find out and prove whether the principle of irregularity itself might work as a connecting link between the texts on different levels, especially regarding the genre structure, fictional setting and the way how aluctions and mystifications are utilized within the texts.
