Szente Anita - Blues libabőr and köntös

It's always exciting to read a beginner's book, especially if your writing also tests you. Anita Szente doesn't care if her reader understands or enjoys it. He stubbornly does what he has to do. Which he thinks he has to do today. His small writings are enigmatic, sometimes annoying. They are not entertaining, but thought-provoking, waiting to be deciphered. Golding, Virginia Woolf, and occasionally Mándy are cited. These are highly self-reflective writings: half-dreamy ramblings, other times accurate and detailed situation assessments, surprising associations. The twitching of a muscle, the fluttering of the gaze, the untraceable "splashes" of fantasy" they try to grasp it, that is, the fragile something of which we are and in which we are, of which the greater part of our existence consists. Writing is a solitary activity, and this way of writing is especially so, since the character who nails the lines and the character who appears in the lines are the same. Cortázari's checkmate: the writer observes his hero, himself, who observes the writer. What will become of this? Will it turn out to be a dead end, a respectable effort that leads nowhere? Or something new? Be that as it may, reading Szente Anita should bring to mind William Faulkner's plaintively proud sentence: "I rank ourselves based on the brilliant failures of achieving the impossible." (György Miklós Száraz)
