Gerlóczy Márton: Mikecs Anna: Altató (Lullaby)

Summary/Abstract: Márton Gerlóczy’s Mikecs Anna: Altató, published in 2017, is a documentary-based family novel with a fictitious narrator, that doesn’t respect the tradition of linear story telling. It presents the lives of five generations of women, whose fates are increasingly difficult. The narrator is a little girl who died at the age of three and a half, who can look beyond the time and space upon the events of her family’s 100-year history. In this work on historical traumas and taboos, the gloomy facts are offset by the evocation of the beauty of details, locations, smells, tastes, clothes.
