1957 Sötét jelek (et. Dark Signs) A collection of short stories.
1966 Az atléta halála (et. Death of an Athlete) Described as "a
psychological novel and an impressionistic delineation" by the
author, who "offers no explanation of the novel's meaning, no description
of the times; he 'demonstrates' the character of the fatally obsessed
long-distance runner through the use of precise details characteristic
of his short stories." (Albert Tezla)
1967 Jelentés öt egérről (et. A Report on Five Mice) Short stories.
1968 Saulus (et. Saul) Based on the Biblical story, the novel is composed
of mosaic-like parts showing the psychological transformation of Saul
that lead to his conversion.
1970 Pontos történetek útközben (et. Precise Stories Along the Way)
A realistic novel comprised of separate stories linked by a first-person
narrator recounting her visits to family in Transylvania and using the
techniques of the cinéma varieté, highlighting nothing, progressing
in each story with utter objectivity.
1971 Térkép, repedésekkel (et. A Map with Cracks) An account of a travel,
with time and space interwoven illogically, seemingly chaotically.
1976 Film (et. A Movie) A turning point in Mészöly's art. Taking an
old couple as its topic, the novel observes their slow movements with
extreme precision through the cold eye of the camera. In an interview,
the author considers this narrative presentation as "a further
stripping to nakedness... to such an extreme point in the consideration
of human events, to such posing of questions that it would call everything,
the component of all things into doubt." (Miklós Mészöly)
1977 A tágasság iskolája (et. The Discipline of Spaciousness) Literary
and philosophical essays, interviews, diary notes, studies on film and
drama.

1989 Volt egyszer egy Közép-Európa (et. 1997 Once There Was a Central
Europe) Short fiction and essays on the region. "Here the only
thing that can happen is what happens. And the concern is precisely
how you can be someone's servant, so that you can freely enjoy the pleasures
of the prisoner within the limited spaciousness of the pillory."
(Miklós Mészöly)
