Abstrakt
Hrabal's late text Total Fears from November 1990 is usually understood as the author's self-accusation. This self-accusation is a mere facade to hide a sophisticated accusation of totally politicized life in the normalization and also late in the 1980s.
That is why we do not understand this text as a mean of ashamed coping with the past times (confessing to weakness), but on the contrary as accusation of imposed ideologically false genre of ""confession"".
