How is narrative text able to grasp, convey, and invent the phenomenon of shapelessness, previously associated exclusively with the realm of visual art? As much as the term may evo ke certain ideas, shapelessness does not denote absence, destruction, or abstract reduction of specific forms, but rather an act of creative deformation, a process of mobilizing forms, and an event that places both visual and textual forms on the boundary of the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown, the present and the absent. Tomáš Jirsa's book discusses the encounter of the subject with shapelessness and its consequences as interpreted by modern world literature of the twentieth century, and seeks to answer the question of how affects and visuality shape language, narrative, and the reader.
