Attila Bartis: The End | Book Launch
Literary meet and greet with EBRD Literary Prize 2024 nominee Attila Bartis featuring his work of prose: THE END
Author Attila Bartis and translator Judith Sollosy discuss the recently published The End with moderator Jozefina Komporaly.
The story of a photographer who… No. The story of a man who… No. The story of a love affair that… Or the story of several love affairs that taken together… Or the story of a nation that… Ah, forget it. This novel offers everything that a novel can possibly offer: truth, sincerity, atmosphere, story. And something else besides that fans of Attila Bartis are familiar with: the irresistible sweep of emotions that carry you with it and won’t let you go. Whether readers consider András Szabad a maniac or fall helplessly in love with him, either way, they will feel that life is worth living only as he lives it, with this intensity. We call a character like him a hero. We are bound to go along with him. (István Kemény)
