Perhaps the most compelling short-story writer in Hungary today, Edina Szvoren charts human relations with rare sensitivity in her trademark grotesque, absurd yet playful style. This volume consists of two parts: the very short ""Ohrwurm Notes"" and seven longer short stories. How many things can cause a horse to panic? Why do blind folk take a chairlift? What are the consequences of moving to homes with lower ceilings? We also learn how a video player brought from beyond the Iron Curtain affects the life of a family, and what a mother can do if she is upset by her son's hairstyle. Sentences on Wonderment is a breathtakingly original book, with stories that are astounding and familiar at the same time.
