Fantastic realism. Ervin Lázár: The Little Town of Miracles

Ervin Lázár is the creator of a genre we may safely call Central European folk surrealism, which takes on the quality of a hallucinatory exploration into that part of the soul where beauty, hope, and yearning live in close proximity with the harsh realities of life.

REVIEW

Duck drippings and ritual murder

Krisztán Grecsó’s (1976) first novel promises a great deal, and delivers on most of its promise. A densely packed work, it may be read as an educational novel, the story of a mystery, a narrative probing into folk belief, a village novel or a novel about provincial Hungary.
