Life presents a variety of situations that are both incredible and entertaining, and sometimes absurd. Power, through its own irrationality or rigid rules, and people, through grandstanding, stinginess, fear, licentiousness, or countless other reasons, make themselves ridiculous. This volume comprises a selection of short stories by a writer who approaches these situations and people with a touch of irony and humor. His witty, playful stories may appear to hide a sad and sometimes cruel reality, but they do so in a way that is sure to leave readers on the edge of their seats. This reality, with all its historical and spiritual burdens, is like a distorted mirror, offering a unique glimpse into the heart of Hungarian society in transition.
