Featuring:
Nem (No), Lili Kemény’s novel, was published in early 2024, and in the autumn, it won the 10th Margó Prize for the best volume of prose. ‘As she digs deep and faces the music,’ went the praise, ‘Lili Kemény uses a language that suits Freud, creation and failure just as well as her relationships, which are complex, to say the least, taking drugs and having sex.’ This provocative autobiographical novel also speaks about the search for her own voice, creative issues, the expectations of family and society, and growing up.
Benedek Szabó will also chime in: the stories of the singer-songwriter of Galaxisok have proved to capture the mood of a generation. The band has released eight albums, including their 2013 debut Kapuzárási piknik (Torschlusspicnic), with growing up, love, disappointment and one’s general mood as recurring themes. One of Benedek Szabó’s favourite book, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, was translated into Hungarian by Lili Kemény and Balázs Sipos.
