Péter Nádas is one of those Hungarian writers with whom an encounter - given the right open approach - is likely to prove an experience never to forget. This evening in the Festival Theatre, which counts among the writer's only rare appearances in Hungary, promises to be special for this reason, offering not only a glimpse into a world-class literary oeuvre but an introduction to the mental processes of a magical, highly influential personality. The great novels Nádas has produced over decades o...f ascetic labour - above all A Book of Memories and Parallel Stories, as well as other definitive volumes (The End of a Family Story, Own Death etc) - belong among those literary works which can change lives: they confront questions which can no longer be avoided or swept under the carpet thereafter. The attentive reader of Péter Nádas learns to see the world and themselves differently than before - and a life's work, or a work of art, can scarcely do more. The audience can likewise expect to go home from this special evening differently from how they arrived: the guarantee of this, besides the writer himself, is the pianist Gábor Csalog, who mostly performs the works of György Kurtág. It promises to be a unique, unrepeatable evening.
