Kutya, Isten, Én vagyok a te
Dog, God, I Am Your. Homeylies after the Revised Edition

Summary/Abstract: The essays analyzes what happened with the exemplary postmodernist Péter Esterházy’s humour and search for non-canonic holiness after 9/11 and after he published the non-novel of his father’s reports to the Secret Service written between 1957-1980, during the soft-dictatorial system in Hungary under Soviet occupation. Dog and God are not mirror images of each other in Hungarian; still they work as counterpoints of human fatalism. Face to face with catastrophes and moral decadence, the essay follows with much more enthusiasm than scepticism how Esterházy manages to seek the paths of love and responsibility.
