Postage, trolleybus, medical service, mallet, school, end station, crowded railway carriage, dog breeder - Krisztina Tóth's fifty stories are in our daily lives. As if we were standing in front of ourselves. To Gogol's spirit, loosely: if we laugh, we laugh at ourselves. Now there is no shortage of absurd humor and empathic irony. The Puppet Blessings tell us grotesque realistic snapshots, lyrical slowdowns, accurate observations of how we live and fear today in Hungary. Accurate stories about losing a trip on the go. Immigration and Emigration, Poverty and Illness. At Blaha Lujza Square, twenty-five steps from the underpass lead to the surface, one of the writings reveals. Get home in the deep. These are both touching and shocking short stories: we perceive the difference between the bottom and the top, between power aggression and human solidarity. The Peoples' Pump is like taking a full ride with one of the trollays: we are the same as where we boarded, but we arrived somewhere else and elsewhere.
