Libri is a master at incorporating the masterpieces of Hungarian literature into his various actions in an unprecedented way. This year Frigyes Karinthy and Dezső Kosztolányi are trying to please readers with their articles on Christmas and New Year’s Eve (also) with two holiday themes.
I was immediately convinced, and being Karinthy one of my Hungarian writers, if not my favorite, I thought to write some unique lines of thought on this great collection of short stories. If your theme fits our theme … (Calm down, Dezső, you won’t be left out either …)
Especially since the writer is also talking about his dear friend in this volume.

literary history, as unreliable as the paid press.
That’s what Karinthy said, not me. New Year’s resolutions, or rather concepts that the layman has no idea about, and not really the writer, or less. It doesn’t matter, so at least you’re sure to follow them.
Karinthy was truly a genius, and this Christmas board game the book also reflects. It is not a trivial novel that pokes fun at the often forced, salivating and kitsch festive atmosphere, but a precise volume of short stories with sarcastic scratches, lavish literary parodies, humorous notebook annotations and humorous outlines sketched with childish glee.
He works mainly with his solemnity, and secondly with his worldliness, describing the beautiful and the ugly, the real and the artificial, the childish and the serious in the last week of the year. He tells stories, he laughs, he sketches a drawing, so real Carinthian. The meat is good …
