What Is The Point of Literature?
The cause, the purpose and the usefulness of literature - with author Krisztián Grecsó
8 December 2022, Thursday
10 am - 11 am
Banner Square
Produced by Müpa Budapest
Literarium Junior

How can you learn to love well? What tools can help offer us a glimpse of the soul? Is it normal to feel a huge dose of anxiety under the heart, right around the stomach region? How can literature help you open up the unexplored depths of your self-knowledge, to somehow peer into a mirror that truly reflects the person who stands before it?

Krisztián Grecsó will speak about the doors of literature and reflective situations to high school children for whom it is not enough just to ‘learn stuff', but instead want to enjoy genuine and meaningful literature, perhaps after purchasing and half-reading a few self-help books or psychology case studies. The question "what did the poet want to say?”, simply does not exist. It is an error. Good writing is not an equation: there is no solution - that X is equal to whatever. The discussion will also move on to look at what happens within us and to us when we read. Krisztián Grecsó is one of the most popular and most-read contemporary authors in Hungary, and any encounter with him will undoubtedly leave its mark.
