Ripped APART
This work is based on a rather hectic yet humdrum story of a small group of friends living in Toronto, all middle class and each in his or her own way caught up in increasingly tragic middle age crisis, which forms the baseline for the book from beginning to end. Short, formally unrelated stories are inserted into the flow of the novel as an experimental device, an added dimension. The final inserts concern the dismantling of Hungary in the WWI peace treaty and its occupation by Germany in 1944.

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)
