Summary/Abstract: “A recurring topos of Marno’s writings is the self-critical admitting of the lack of comrehension, and the critical momentum of admitting incomprehensibleness, which he seems to be compelled to face.” János Marno is a master of the hermetic, hard-to-open poetry of contemporary Hungarian prose. The review attempts to unfold the machinery of Marno’s poetry by conceptual means.
