Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Paperback condition: Excellent Supremely deft, witty and poignant, Orkeny's stories sparkle with the absurd and the inexplicable which he discovers gliding beneath the surface of the rituals, gossip, cafes and intrigues of contemporary Budapest. A newspaper misprint, an accident in the street, a funeral, even the instructions pinned to the wall beside a fire extinguisher become the occasion for a meditation on existence. Orkeny is a master of irony and the arts of survival practiced close to the stuff of ordinary experience. 141pp Exquisite quirky drawings by Garry Shead. Seller Inventory # 179
