AB Although Milan Kozelka's last collections of texts, written in the spirit of the literary radicalism programme, were reviewed in their time, from today's perspective it might seem that they are losing their intensity. In them Kozelka portrayed the current political situation and a number of contemporary media cases, and inadvertently created a variant of political satire that Czech literature had not known before. The present paper outlines two different interpretive frameworks from which Kozelka's late work can be read, while at the same time attempting to reconstruct an image of an artist who truly believed in the subversive potential of his work.
