Balogh Attila: Óvatos emlékezés (Wary Remembrance). Târgu Mureş, 2014.

Attila Balogh’s volume of poems is ruthless literature, a host of 13 lyrical essays on vulnerability. Beside piloting the reader into the realm of being a social as well as existential outcast, it is nothing short of a database on the shortcomings of Christianity and Hungarian national culture, a lyrical piece of socio-journalism, a sentimental time voyage and magical horror at the same time.

The booklet was designed and illustrated by Ágnes Vári

The stories enthral us, be they told by an angel or a sadistic clerk. Knowledge and wisdom: this naivety is cruel, for you can’t help interfering: the stakes are high and we all know this.
