Grecsó Krisztián - Tánciskola (2017) (Magvető Kiadó)
Product description
The dance school is not a specific place where, say, the heroes of this novel would learn to tango. Grecsó dreams of a magical, sultry lowland world in which everything is impossibly familiar and real. A young man at the beginning of his legal career finds himself in the unknown city of Viharsarok: temptations, miracles, horrors, women and close to death. Dr. József Voith does not know whether diabolical things have stirred up from the depths, or whether it is just the relentless pace of adult everyday life. The tangled loves and the drug-addled bar make everything confusing for him. He would fondly turn to his beloved uncle, but increasingly he feels that he is in the wrong place. The Dance School is a magical novel about coming of age, initiation, temptation, and the conflicts of young adult life.
Krisztián Grecsó's third book of prose was published for the first time in 2008, and received a stormy critical response. Since then, it has been reprinted eight times and reached Czech readers as well.
