The “Hoaxer as a Character” section is presented by the story of the famous Czech writer Jiri Kratochvil (1940) “The Death of King Candaulus.” The hero, a man of rare charm but modest literary abilities, secretly from the public writes risky erotic poetry for his beautiful wife. The success of the hoax exceeds all expectations, which makes the narrator doubt literary values as such and much more. Translation and afterword by Nina Shulgina.
