Year, pages: 2023, 126 - 134

This article provides an overview of the most important works on Slovak literature by the leading British scholar in the field, the late Robert B. Pynsent, from his edited collection Modern Slovak Prose (1990) to his afterword for the translation of Ján Johanides’s But Crime Does Punish (2022). His themes range from nationalism in 19th-century writers to the ironization of sexuality in the post-1989 generation, for whom he coined his own term, the “Genitalists”.
