Summary/Abstract: If someone undertakes a thorough analysis of András Sütő’s „Anyám könnyű álmot ígér” – modestly called „diary notes” at fi rst publishing – they will have no doubt that the volume is the reincarnation of genuine sociography. This novel published in 90,600 copies between 1970–1976 – gained space in our consciousness as an emblematic creation of an era that survived itself – at a time when that era was still representing itself to be perpetual.Based on his analyses, Péter Cseke reaches the conclusion that it was the demand for historical discernment as well as the responsiblity of the written word that prompted András Sütő – who walked the minority cross-roads of knowing – to speak up in the end of the 60’s. Everything else follows from this: the academic level of demand in reality statements; the authenticity of personality, the personal character of the narrative; and the dilatation of the dimensions of how we interpret reality.
