The Sinistra Zone
Lyrical, surreal, and yet unsettlingly realistic, The Sinistra Zone swims in the totalitarian backwaters of Eastern Europe Entering a weird, remote hamlet, Andrei calls himself “a simple wayfarer,” but he is in fact highly compromised: he has no identity papers. Taken under the wing of the military zone’s commander, Andrei is first assigned to guard the blueberries that supply a nearby bear reserve. He is surrounded by human wrecks, supernatural umbrellas, birds carrying plagues, albino twins. The bears — and an affair with a married woman — occupy Andrei until his protector is replaced by a new female commander, “a slender creature, quiet,diaphanous, like a dragonfly,” and yet an iron-fisted harridan. As things grow ever more alarming, Andrei becomes a “corpse watchman,” standing guard over the dead to check for any signs of life, and then …

Birds of Verhovina
The reader arrives in Ádám Bodor's world, the periphery of civilization, at the break of dawn. Adam, the foster son of Brigadier Anatol Korkodus is waiting at the dilapidated station for a boy who is arriving from a reformatory.Soon afterwards, Korkodus is arrested for unfathomable reasons. Yet this decaying and sinister world is not devoid of a certain joie de vivre: people eat gourmet dishes, point out their interlocutor's hidden motives with incredibly dark humor and enjoy the region's stunning natural beauty.
Worlds Apart? A Postcolonial Reading of post-1945 East-Central European Culture
This study explores the relation of the Eastern European problematic to postcolonial critical practice, interrogating the extent to which postcolonialism can help illuminate instances of imperial domination in non-Third World contexts. It argues that colonisation is to be understood principally as a condition of ideological domination that has engendered similar forms of literary and cultural resistance; consequently, it offers a comparative framework which enables a reading in differential contexts of texts that ostensibly have little in common, but which, on close examination, reveal a shared imaginative space, rhetoric and narrative agency. The book consists of two interrelated parts. Par...
Tapasztalatcsere
A látszat ellenére egy térképet tart kezében az érdeklődő. Egy térképet, a kortárs magyar irodalom kétségkívül egyik legnagyszerűbb írójának, Bodor Ádámnak sűrűn benőtt útvesztőihez, amely a "korai novellákon, majd a szerző számára szélesebb ismertséget hozó regényeken, végül a díjnyertes interjúköteten át kalauzolja az olvasót. De vigyázat! Az útjelzések bizony csalhatnak! Hiába válogatták össze szerkesztők a kartográfusok nemes csapatát Balassa Pétertől Margócsy Istvánon és Szirák Péteren át Angyalosi Gergyelyig, hiába gyűltek össze ifjú térképészek, hogy felülvizsgálják a mesterek munkáit, hozzáadva a saját perspektí...
The Explicit Material
The Explicit Material focuses on objects as complex constructs of material relations, and points to the increased blurring of boundaries between practices of conservation and curation, thereby announcing a shift in sensibilities and understanding of the objects’ material significance.
The Reception of Northrop Frye
The widespread opinion is that Northrop Frye’s influence reached its zenith in the 1960s and 1970s, after which point he became obsolete, his work buried in obscurity. This almost universal opinion is summed up in Terry Eagleton’s 1983 rhetorical question, "Who now reads Frye?" In The Reception of Northrop Frye, Robert D. Denham catalogues what has been written about Frye – books, articles, translations, dissertations and theses, and reviews – in order to demonstrate that the attention Frye’s work has received from the beginning has progressed at a geomantic rate. Denham also explores what we can discover once we have a fairly complete record of Frye’s reception in front of us – such as Hayden White’s theory of emplotments applied to historical writing and Byron Almén’s theory of musical narrative. The sheer quantity of what has been written about Frye reveals that the only valid response to Eagleton’s rhetorical question is "a very large and growing number," the growth being not incremental but exponential.
Die Vögel von Verhovina
Ádám Bodors Welten sind an den Rändern der Zivilisation verortet, im Dämmerlicht ihres Niedergangs. Bodor, ein Meister der Verquickung von Realem und Imaginären, führt uns in diesen exakt komponierten Variationen über letzte Tage an einen nicht näher bestimmten ehemaligen Kurort irgendwo in Transsilvanien: zeitlich verortet zwischen tiefer Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, eingebettet in eine wuchtige, magisch aufgeladene Natur. Adam, der Pflegesohn von Brigadier Anatol Korkodus, wartet am verfallenen Bahnhof auf einen Jungen aus einer Besserungsanstalt. Kurz darauf wird Korkodus aus unerfindlichen Gründen verhaftet. Was dahinter steckt, verbirgt sich im Unfassbaren, Geheimnisvollen. Es ...
