Although he started off as a poet, Michal Šanda is today regarded as a postmodern author because every book he writes explores a different genre and style.{{Cite web |title=Michal Šanda |url=https://www.czechlit.cz/en/author/michal-sanda-en/ |access-date=2023-02-24 |website=CzechLit |language=en-GB}}
