This book combines fiction and reporting beyond the usual definition of literary nonfiction by applying modern literary conceits to bringing to light a social issue typical of Eastern Europe where the story was researched and written in Hungarian by Zoltán Böszörményi, working in Romania.

you must appeal to the conscience of trees
their calm is the sign of confidence
that you’ve coveted for ages
even with a budding mind

Words from my readers
A great novel!
Last time, on our way back from the Iron Gate and Krassó-Szörény in October, I received Zoltán's latest book, While I Think I Exist, at the Present House.
I read it with great interest, literally all the way through, I could hardly put it down.
Once again, I thank Zoltán and Jelen Publishers for this book. It was like reading a printed online story. A great novel!
With friendship,
Gábor
About Regal
A good novel offers endless possibilities for interpretation/reading. The Regal is such a novel. One of Kinga Lázár's quotes is particularly thought-provoking. "How would I behave in their place?" The question is asked by Tamás, the main character. Yes, it is worth approaching the characters from this point of view, and asking ourselves the question: How would I behave in their shoes?
The skin of nothing
The author handles the words, the Hungarian language and our cultural and literary literacy in a very beautiful, apt, surprising or even disconcerting way - all at the same time. (Moly.hu)
