angol nyelvű SZENTKUTHY estje
– Rainer J. Hanshe, a Contra Mundum kiadó vezetője (New York – Berlin) beszélget Takács Ferenc irodalomkritikussal, az ELTE docensével –
Although acknowledged as one of the most innovative writers of the 20th century, Miklós Szentkuthy’s oeuvre remains largely unknown even within Europe. However, with his long-awaited publication into English by Contra Mundum Press, he is beginning to gain greater prominence. Contra Mundum Press has so far published Szentkuthy’s Marginalia on Casanova, and Towards the One and Only Metaphor, beginning at last the Anglophone reception of Szentkuthy. Within one month after the publication of Marginalia on Casanova, Prof. Nicholas Birns of Eugene Lang College, the first reviewer of the book, declared that “Szentkuthy will unquestionably enter and alter the canon of twentieth-century literature as we know it.”
Rainer J. Hanshe is the founder of Contra Mundum Press and Hyperion: On the Future of Aesthetics. His novels include The Acolytes and The Abdication. Most recently, he edited Richard Foreman’s Plays with Films and Wordsworth’s Fragments. Hanshe’s second novel, The Abdication, is currently being translated into Italian, Turkish, and Slovakian. He is writing his third novel, Humanimality.
Contra Mundum Press (New York/Berlin) is an independent publisher, dedicated to the value and the indispensable importance of the individual voice. CMP also publishes translations of writers who are of significant stature in their own cultures, and whose works in English translation have not been published, are out of print, or are poorly translated.
Ferenc Takács is a literary critic, essayist, translator and senior professor at ELTE, University of Budapest. Takács is also President of the Hungarian James Joyce Society, and has published extensively on English and Irish literature, as well as on theatre and film.
