Kornel Esti, Paperback/Deszo Kosztolanyi

Best Translated Book Award Part Gogol, part Chekhov, and all brilliance, Kosztol nyi in his final book serves up his most magical, radical, and intoxicating work. Here is a novel which inquires: What if your id (loyally keeping your name) decides to strike out on its own, cuts a disreputable swath through the world, and then sends home to you all its unpaid bills and ruined maidens? And then: What if you and your alter ego decide to write a book together?
