White Wolf Published in English

My collection of short stories White Wolf has just arrived from Seagull Books in an English translation by Owen Good. The book was originally published in Hungarian in 2019. I’m delighted that these stories can now be read in English as well.

My thanks to the publisher and the translator for their excellent work, and special thanks for the wonderful cover design.

Financial Times review of the U.S. edition of Eye of the Monkey

Eye of the Monkey by Krisztina Tóth – autocratic deception and unchecked desire „There is, as you have probably gleaned, little to be optimistic about in the book’s dystopian cosmos. But there is great enjoyment to be found in Tóth’s artistry; in the precision of her images (“she got dressed as if she were leaving a gynecological appointment”), in the originality of her characterisation (Giselle’s husband is “the kind of fellow who always knew what the temperature would be that day”). Her characters are flawed, deceitful, contradictory, and yet their undeniable humanity pulls us in. Tóth shows us how private pain is so often behind hurtful acts; Larkin’s refrain “Man hands on misery to man” feels like a silent companion to the book."
