dc.description.abstract Esej se zabývá tématem zneužívání dětí v rané tvorbě Jima Grimsleyho, jmenovitě ve třech románech, které jsou někdy známé jako trilogie o Danu Crellovi: Winter Birds, My Drowning a Comfort & Joy. V trilogii jsou identifikovány čtyři formy zneužívání: sexuální, fyzické a emocionální zneužívání a zanedbávání. Mezi důležitá témata románů patří role paměti ve zvládání traumatu ze zneužívání později v dospělosti i vliv zneužívání na dynamiku rodinného života. Autor v jednotlivých románech používá různé narativní situace a techniky, aby prozkoumal způsob, jakým pracuje paměť. cs
dc.description.abstract The essay explores the theme of child abuse in Jim Grimsley's early fiction, namely in the three novels sometimes known as the Dan Crell trilogy: Winter Birds, My Drowning, and Comfort & Joy. Four forms of abuse can be identified in the trilogy: sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and abuse by neglect. Important themes of the novels include the role of memory in coping with the trauma of child abuse later in adulthood as well as the influence of past abuse on family dynamics. In the individual novels, the author uses various narrative situations and techniques in order to explore the way memory works. en
