The author of ten volumes of fiction since 1969, Ádám Bodor is an award-winning, Transylvanian-born Hungarian writer.

Quotes by Ádám Bodor (?)

“Amikor a nemzet méltóságának éppen hiányoznak a kézzelfogható, megtapasztalható jelei, akkor keletkeznek az erről szóló legendák. A deprimáló társadalmi környezet az embert álmodozásra készteti, hajlamos a nemzetet, szerepét, jelentőségét valami mitikus derengés színein át szemlélni, csakhogy a végén mindig ugyanott ébred, és ugyanolyan toprongyosan.”

“Úgy vélem, ahhoz, hogy az ember alkotni tudjon, kettős látással kell bírnia a világról. Kell egy inspiráló környezet testközelben, és valahol a képzelet messziségében annak elvonatkoztatott mása. A két kép között foglal helyet a novella.”

“Hogy csak a magam eljárásainál maradjunk, elmondhatom, az alkotás folyamatának boldog pillanata az, amikor a széttépett papírral teli kosárral elballagok a kuka felé. Ilyenkor mindig megkönnyebbülök, az elégedettség bizsergése hullámzik végig a bőröm alatt: érzem, hogy dolgoztam, hogy sikerült túllépni valamin.”
