My Secret Life: Selected Poems
Autor:
Opis
Opis
Krisztina Tóth is one of the leading Hungarian poets of the generation who began publishing in the late 1980s. The recipient of many awards, she is also renowned for her fiction which has been translated into many languages including English.
My Secret Life is the first book of Krisztina Tóth's poetry in English translation. The poems were selected by her from three of her eleven published collections, with the addition of some new or previously uncollected poems.
'Her work has the nervous energy of the times but is shaped by a deep and disciplined intelligence. Her subjects are invariably human. They are concerned with love, family, friendship, loss, and a kind of existential disaffection. Tragic in one sense but ever inventive, full of life's minute yet highly resonant particulars, they seem to extend into an almost cinematic narrative about the cruelties of factory farming, murder, ageing, the treatment of women as sex toys and death itself. She is a bravura formalist when she needs to be. Her vigour and scope are enormous.' - – George Szirtes
Reviewing Krisztina Tóth's short story collection Pixel under the title 'The Hungarian Author who foresaw the future of Nationalism', Stephanie Newman wrote: 'Tóth muses that generations of humans, like bobbing needles, are "seaming together the fraying layers of the past and the present”. Their countries of origin don't matter; neither do their religions, genders, or ethnicities. What Tóth creates in Pixel is emblematic of Europe as she sees it: a place in which "everything is sewn together while the thread itself is invisible”.'
'Tóth is part of the generation of Hungarian writers who came of age in 1989, as the optimism of post-communism gave way to economic crisis, alienation and political viciousness. Tóth's selected poems, potently translated into English for the first time by George Szirtes, communicate the regretful atmosphere of melancholy that permeates a damaged society … These wide-ranging, droll poems always seem to come back to the knotty discomforts of a changing self existing within a broken world...' - – Rebecca Tamás, The Guardian (Poetry Books of the Month)
