Köztesség, kettősség, feszültség. Az ikrek Agota Kristof Trilógiájában
Liminality, Duality, Tension: The Twins in Agota Kristof’s Trilogy

Summary/Abstract: Agota Kristof emigrated to Switzerland at the age of 21, subsequently choosing to learn French and author her works in that language. However, similar to many writers in exile, she experienced persistent challenges with integration; feelings of displacement, alienation, liminality, and duality shaped both her existential and linguistic circumstances. This observation is consistent with the experiences described by many émigré authors in their works and is commonly reflected in academic literature pertaining to exile studies. The sense of rootlessness created by this dual attachment, and the resulting schizophrenic sense of life, manifests in these cases through motifs such as doubles and twins, among others; the article examines this in relation to Agota Kristof’s Trilogy.
