Sifting through the Ashes and the Fragments of Bone
In this autobiographical essay, written in 2018 and previously unpublished, the late György Konrád intertwines his memories as a child during World War II with more theoretical reflections (and unanswered questions) on the war, its repercussions, its lessons. Written in Hungarian not long before his death in 2019, Konrád goes back in this essay to the period following the arrest of his parents after the German invasion of Hungary. Aged eleven, he…
Inside Animalinside, Ottilie Mulzet's Translation of László Krasznahorkai’s Állatvanbent
László Krasznahorkai is now the best-known Hungarian writer in the English-speaking world (perhaps in the world, period). But what is the precise nature of the relationship between his Hungarian works and their English translations that have been, on the whole, so well received in Britain and especially the USA?

Éva Szöllősy. 2015. A férfiak és a nők képe modern értelmező szótárainkban [ The Representation of Men and Women in Contemporary Monolingual Dictionaries of Hungarian ]
The study of the role of gendered representations in perpetuating stereotypical gender roles has now been pursued, often from an avowedly feminist perspective, for several decades, though chiefly in the context of learning materials. Far fewer serious works have been devoted to gender imbalance in the definitions and, especially, the often insidious illustrative examples that abound in dictionaries, which are of equal or – thanks to their normati…
East-Central European Literatures Twenty Years After
The goal of this collective effort is to provide an overview of the course of Central European literatures in the twenty years following the fall of the Berlin Wall. The authors have highlighted works they consider representative of their countries’ literary production and placed them in the context of the political and social changes they reflect. Where English translations of the works in question are available, they are listed in a bibliograph…
