De avonturen van Kornél Esti

By Dezső Kosztolányi and Christina Viragh

Crazy, funny and gorgeously dark, Korn?l Esti sets into rollicking action a series of adventures about a man and his wicked doppleg?nger, who breathes every forbidden idea of his childhood into his ear, and then reappears decades later.

Part Gogol, part Chekhov, and all brilliance, Kosztol?nyi in his final book serves up his most magical, radical, and intoxicating work. Here is a novel which inquires: What if your id (loyally keeping your name) decides to strike out on its own, cuts a disreputable swath through the world, and then sends home to you all its unpaid bills and ruined maidens? And then: What if you and your alter ego decide to write a book together?
