Being a novelist, playwright, director and adapter of other authors' texts, Karol Horák belongs to the creators of prose and dramatic texts which have a significant moral punch line. He is the author using different genres, but dealing with the same problem. He concentrates on the individual in a crisis situation in which he/she has to make a decision or act. It was in the 1970s, when the author started applying postmodern methods to his works, primarily to the texts for staging, where the experiment in space was dominant. The essence of Horák's method in a postmodern conception of his writings is connected with a narrator, conflict and text composition.
