Szalay Zoltán - no one home

"It's his city. He found it on the banks of the Danube, but it could also be: he invented it so he could include it in stories, the same way Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco and Lajos Grendel did their worlds.
Although it is also possible that the city found itself a writer who made it real in stories.
Those who tell stories do not necessarily turn their backs on reality, nor are they always light-hearted. Not many people write as authentically as Zoltán Szalay about the trauma of the dismemberment of historical Hungary and the consequences that still affect us today. And because someone may be concerned with this very question: the author did not fail to commemorate the Battle of Bratislava.
Bratislava becomes present and at the same time eternal through this cycle of short stories."
