This article offers a detailed analysis of the thought and fiction of Michal Ajvaz, one of the most influential and popular of contemporary Czech novelists. Its emphasis lies on the mutuality, in Ajvaz''s output, between his literature (especially, his novels The Other City and The Golden Age) and thought (especially, his book-length study of Derrida and his indebtedness to Husserl''s phenomenology) where the former borrows ideological and thematic concerns from the latter, and the latter is enriched by the former''s use of figurative language.
