CAN Okumaz Yazmaz

Product description

I left my memory book, where i kept my encrypted writings, and my first poems in hungary. I left my brothers, my mother, my father behind, without even telling them, without even saying goodbye. But above all, that day, that late november of 1956, i definitively lost my belonging to a community. The first happy years in hungary, post-war poverty, boarding school days, the breaking of the "silver thread of childhood", stalin's death, exile, the lausanne years, a new country, mother tongue and foreign language. Ágota kristóf, with her baby and husband, settles in switzerland as a refugee at the age of twenty-one, and she encounters a hostile language that she will never fully master, that she will never be able to make her own, a language in which she can neither write nor read. From now on, he not only feels like he doesn't belong to a community, but also carries a sense of otherness within him at all times. Okumaz yazmaz, the author's only autobiographical work, speaks directly to the reader's heart with its measured, short sentences and words that are neither too few nor too many.

“this book is a little gem. Kirkus reviews: "in just fifty pages, kristóf achieves what many others could aspire to in a whole career."

a genius without a clue.
