Evokace, inspirace, dedikace — zmínky o Honze Krejcarové v díle Egona Bondyho
Abstract
Egon Bondy’s poetry, fiction, and even philosophical essays contain a lot of factual remarks, both explicit and anonymous (albeit quite transparent), on the woman he met by the end of 1948 and with whom he was in a love-affair for many years. However, Honza Krejcarová seems to have inspired Bondy in a number of other cases. Some fictitious female characters in his literary work are likely to be shaped by the image the poet had created about his ‚femme fatale‘. On the other hand, Krejcarová’s own literary heritage is comparatively modest in its scope. The voluminous ‚letter to Egon Bondy‘ (1962), together with the memoir biography on her mother Milena Jesenská are very important among her works. In the letter, she expressed the gist of her aesthetics and ideas; only in her private correspondence — contrary to her works of fiction published in the sixties — could she write openly, without the interference of any censorship and self-censorship.
