Anett SchäfferCities, Rooms, Clothes: Patterns in Zsuzsa Rakovszky’s Prose
The paper examines the most important patterns of Zsuzsa Rakovszky’s prose by concentrating on the major themes of her four novels (A kígyó árnyéka [The Shadowof the Snake], A hullócsillag éve [The Year of the Shooting Star], Szilánkok [Shards], Célia) and her short stories published in the A Hold a hetedik házban (The Moon inthe Seventh House) volume: space, body and identity. Rakovszky’s works of prose are centred around these main motifs, and often portray stories in which identitycrises, sexual abuses and translocality are intertwined in a unique way. The analysis of these recurring thematical elements shows how Rakovszky’s novels and shortstories are connected. Moreover, it also helps to define how Rakovszky’s prose is related contemporary literary trends, and raises the question whether they can beanalysed as modern, postmodern or post-postmodern literature.
