Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the whole range of literary criticism published in 2018 in 11 mainstream Hungarian literary magazines. Through these 388 book reviews a number of important questions regarding the Hungarian literary scene can be approached: how fast the reception of literary works is articulated, how centralized the Hungarian literary scene appears to be, how works of world literature are reflected upon, what is the proportion of poetry criticism as compared to prose criticism, and also how segmented the Hungarian literary field appears to be according to political preferences.
