Kálmán Gábor - Janega Kornél szép élete

Missing father and home, searching for a home, this is the beautiful life of Kornél Janega. The novel presents the journey of a man born in the highlands from northern Slovakia to Vízíváros, accompanied by shortages, divorces, and anxiety. Losing a father is not something that happens once, but a constant loss and wound. Kornél Janega actually has to lose his father several times. When he leaves, when he disappears for good, when he is declared dead, when he actually dies. All of this constantly accompanies and marks Kornél Janega for thirty years. Gábor Kálmán's third book is a novel about homelessness. The mature style, strong and clear prose of an extremely consciously constructed writer.

"The myth-busting begins after thirty years. We look through the death of the father and realize that we were destined to copy the bitter life of our parents. Gábor Kálmán's darkly swirling prose is about lost opportunities, death, abandonment, in short, about life. And we know that it is rarely beautiful." (Sándor Jászberényi)
