Meer over het boek

Miklós Szentkuthy's debut novel, published in 1934, challenges traditional realism and provoked strong reactions from Hungarian critics, who found it shocking and labeled Szentkuthy as an outsider to Hungarian culture. The work's unconventional style and themes led to its classification as a "monstrous" piece of literature, highlighting the tension between cosmopolitan influences and national identity in Hungarian art.
