Summary/Abstract: „…what kind of work is this, what is the genre, what is the narrative along the line of which it can be interpreted, what can and can’t we expect from it?” The writer Ádám Bodor’s unusual volume of autobiographical interviews, in which the interlocutor was the poet Zsófia Balla, won in 2002 the Hungarian Prize for Literature for the best volume of the previous year. The present review by Péter Dérczy analyses the work as a special autobiographical „novel”.
