Hasítás

The fifth volume of a cycle of novels moves to and fro between past and present, between points of one possible life: the narrator's early childhood, his adolescence, the start of his writing career and his thirties. Descending towards the past as if down a spiral staircase, with the present always mirrored in the sky over Budapest's City Park, it reads as a pulsing portrait of recent decades, in which the hero loafs about Felszabadulás Square and roams Paris and Berlin. It is also a game with the possibilities of the autobiographical novel, and with the question of what is really fiction.
