In this volume, acclaimed translator Ottilie Mulzet reveals the full range and force of Borbély’s verse by bringing together generous selections from his last two books, Final Matters and To the Body. The original Hungarian text is set on pages facing the English translations, and the book also features an afterword by Mulzet that places the poems in literary, historical, and biographical context.Restless, curious, learned, and alert, Borbély weaves into his work an unlikely mix of Hungarian folk songs, Christian and Jewish hymns, classical myths, police reports, and unsettling accounts of abortions. In her afterword, Mulzet calls this collection “a blasphemous and fragmentary prayer book … that challenges us to rethink the boundaries of victimhood, culpability, and our own religious and cultural definitions.”Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 155mmAuthor: Szilárd BorbélyTranslator: Ottilie MulzetContributor: Ottilie Mulzet (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Lockert Library of Poetry in TranslationRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
