"Seldom has a contemporary author registered instances
of human vulnerability and emotional idiosyncrasies with such seismographic
precision. His own vulnerability is ever-present and at the same time
critically reflected upon. Literally nothing escapes Nádas' attention;
this is as true as the complete absence of ideology. His is the patience
of an observer and portraist who from the outset discredits preconceived
opinions and rigid thought structures."
