We have known since Heraclitus that we cannot step into the same river twice. The characters of László András' new novel nevertheless attempt the impossible. The red crown is the book of corruption - of economic and intellectual corruption. And corruption is a river that you can only step into once, there is no chance for a second chance, the current is too strong for that. He who does not drown on the way will reach the sea. Sea water, on the other hand, is undrinkable. A sparsely woven, socially sensitive and precise, yet light-hearted work about our present-day reality. If you like: crime fiction. If so: non-fiction. One thing is for sure: whether we like it or not - it's our life.
