The essay analyzes a complex problematics of the stranger / the Other in the novels by the contemporary Czech novelist Petra Hůlová in its manifold manifestations ranging from the stranger / the Other as an outsider in his own culture to the stranger / the Other as an immigrant in the dominant, new culture. The stranger in Petra Hůlová’s fiction finds himself mostly in a position of the social outsider who does not manage to completely sever the ties to his own culture, while being challenged in a new cultural space by prejudice and rejection.
