Join us tomorrow night, 10/21, at 7pm for a very special event at Brooklyn Public Library with iconic, celebrated author Krisztina Tóth, in town from Hungary, and Ken Chen, lauded poet and Associate Director of Creative Writing at Barnard College.

„Krisztina Tóth is irredeemably a poet. This is revealed by every element of her latest novel. It lies in the nature of her attention, and as this attention seizes upon the world, she then, at one certain point in the world she wishes to portray, zeros in, heads down to the depths and – as if she could do nothing else – opens up this minor, seemingly insignificant detail, which then becomes an impetus for the entire work, illuminating it, as in Eye of the Monkey, tying together what she left behind with what she stands before. Krisztina Tóth is a magnificent artist; receive her as such.”
– László Krasznahorkai, 2025 Nobel Laureate
„Reading The Eye of the Monkey is like peering into the abyss and finding your consciousness forever altered. You cannot escape this book, you already hear its thunder!”
– Elfriede Jelinek, 2004 Nobel Laureate
„A terrifying novel that reminds us how autocracy’s brutality and stupidity destroy all that is good in life. Eye of the Monkey is unsparing, unforgettable. I read it with my heart in my throat.”
– Merve Emre, contributing writer at The New Yorker
„Remarkably, Toth manages to hold our focus as the story forks in controlled, if mysterious, ways. A book that can be snaking and labyrinthine without sprawling aimlessly is – like an author who can handle elusiveness without opacity or coyness – quite a rare thing. … It’s our fortune that Ottilie Mulzet, a prolific translator of Hungarian, was up to the task of capturing both the strangeness and the poetry of the text.”
– Rebecca Makkai, New York Times Book Review

„Egy félelmetes regény, amely arra emlékeztet minket, hogy a politikai önkényuralom brutalitása és ostobasága mindent elpusztít, ami az életben érték. A majom szeme könyörtelen, felejthetetlen regény. A torkomban dobogott a szívem, miközben olvastam."
