  • Ki építi a homokvárat? : Tolnai Ottó infaustusairól
    Rudaš, Jutka
    In Tolnai's works, the human spiritual world opens up an extraordinary dimension, where cultures, habits, superstitions, masks and alter-egos mingle. Tolnai's texts abound in symbolic information ... that represent reality-models and cultural patterns. The interaction between the examined and the examination functions outwards, as literary logic, where everything is allowed. It is exactly this interaction that clearly shows how is the borderline fading between fiction and reality. We can best understand the depth of his texts if we notice the allegorical behind the literal. In order to comprehend the works of Tolnai, one has to possess certain literary experience. In his texts, elements of multiculturalism and those of the ex-Yugoslav era appear. Even though the author's world does not transcend individual features, it still takes the reader into a heterogeneous, culturally coded macrocosm. Who pushes the letters forward, who builds the sandcastles, who broadens THE NEW TOLNAI WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA? How many infaustuses tell stories? Various artists, writers, painters, historic figure s from the encyclopedia of the Mediterranian Balkan belt come and go. This milieu is unveiled in a strongly coded spell of Tolnai. The objective reality does appear in what is being narrated, but this reality is pretty much restricted to a multiplied he/me, while a narrative voice, either a mask-less or a fictitious one, becomes more or less audible. The narrator - to the delight of observers - steps into the world of heroes, recites and re-creates, sets the scene, and the experience of narration unfolds in this exceptional simplicity, and in fact, this is at stake in storytelling.
