Towards the Life and Work of Zdeněk Rotrekl (2021). The study demonstrates that Zizler's book is the result of the combination of several approaches: the literary-critical, historical, and comparative, as well as the structural, phenomenological, and hermeneutical. One must also add the method of close reading, which Zizler uses to create his interpretive models.
