Gerlóczy Márton - Fikció 1. - A katlan

Márton Gerlóczy's new novel, Fikció (A katlan) is the first volume of a continuing identity thriller, in which the author tells the antecedents of a particularly complicated family history.

The setting is a quiet alley in a small Sicilian town in the middle of a valley preparing for Christmas, where a tense countdown begins with ominous omens. A person waits for the truth, a writer for DNA results, a novel for its characters. Meanwhile, we can only be sure of this: "Things can only happen in one way, that is, the way they happened." But how did they happen? What can be done with the situation when it turns out that hardly anything is true of what we knew, believed, and thought about ourselves and our family until now?

Before long, a cannon goes off, the mountain cracks, and the living and the dead gather at the loud noise to begin a monumental non-fiction novel.

After his family novel Alató, the author wanted to write the story of fathers, but in the end the story began to write him.

The author came out in 2003 with his first novel, Igazolt áženzám. At the request of Márton Gerlóczy, this novel of his can never be published again. Fiction is the answer to why.
