Avec Europa minor, Miklós Szentkuthy nous prouve, si besoin était, qu’en littérature il ose tout et réussit tout ce qu’il ose. D’ailleurs le démiurge hongrois ne disait-il pas : « J’ai toujours voulu tout voir, tout lire, tout penser, tout rêver, tout avaler ! ». Et cette volonté, ce désir, cette aptitude à tout saisir et à tout métamorphoser il les met au service de ses textes, dont cet Europa minor. Il crée un monde qui n’appartient qu’à lui.
Livre inouï par la manière qu’a l’auteur d’embrasser civilisations et destinées particulières, de faire se rencontrer les cultures les plus opposées. Szentkuthy nous donne à lire, à entendre un opéra baroque où la moindre digression, génialement menée, prend corps et est un continent à elle seule.

Eagerly awaiting its English. Meanwhile, if you've got some French you've got this.


__________
From The Modern Novel ::

"This book is even more complicated and irrational than its predecessors. As always, with Szentkuthy, you have no idea where he is going or, indeed, what is going on and why. As always, though, it is great fun, if you can accept that things may not be clear. It is thoroughly original, witty and complex. It jumps all over the place, both in time and place. It is very much post-modern before there was post-modern. It is, of course, great fun."
