Ladislav Fuks

Ladislav Fuks byl český prozaik, autor především psychologické prózy s tématem úzkosti člověka ohrožovaného nesvobodou a násilím. Jako symbol tohoto tématu si pak zvolil druhou světovou válku a holokaust. Většina jeho díla je autobiografická, často skrytě - téměř všemi jeho knihami prochází figura senzitivního, slabého hocha, žijícího ve svém vnitřním světě a toužícího po citovém přátelství. Právě tato stále se vracející postava trpícího a mučeného chlapce má silnou míru autobiografičnosti. Fuksovo dílo je někdy také autobiografickou travestií – např. Vévodkyně a kuchařka. Fuks je ve svém díle též mistrem masky, jinotajů a náznaků, k čemuž byl jako homosexuál přirozeně donucen dobou, v níž žil a tvořil. Ve svých knihách se také často dopouš
