Lajos Pusztai's latest collection of writings evokes the heyday of Hungarian humor—the absurdity of the 1980s and 1990s, political transformations, and the struggles of everyday people come to life in his grotesque yet deeply human stories. With exceptional linguistic ingenuity and social criticism, the author recounts the fate of Hungarians in Vojvodina, the contradictions of homelessness, displacement, and homecoming. The texts, reminiscent of cabarets and humorous sketches, evoke a bygone world in which laughter and pain coexist.
