QUIZ

Which Hungarian-born British poet has received the T. S. Eliot Prize?

Publishers recommend

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

The metaphysical servant

Out of all the stellar authors whose works arose during the first decades of the 20th century, Dezső Kosztolányi (1885–1936) alone succeeded in capturing the hearts of colleague and reader alike. Surprisingly enough, this rare sense of loving devotion is still typical of the way readers continue to regard him today.

INTERVIEW

A witness to the 1st century - part two

Captivity was a conscious emigration into the great events of a great era. Our world here, the world we were socialised into, is a small and shabby world. Being part of a small nation is usually not favourable for great prose and drama.

WORKS

The hangman's house (excerpt from the novel)

No one had officially told the schoolchildren in Cluj what they were going to portray. All they knew was that they were preparing for a celebration. Then it suddenly dawned on her: the mass of schoolkids were going to portray the Great Leader, Ceaușescu himself, and she is going to be his mouth.
