The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a novel by the Scottish author James Hogg, published anonymously in 1824. Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, part-metafiction, part-satire, part-case study of totalitarian thought, it can also be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction, in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. The action...

A true hors d'oeuvre, this literary short story is one of the shortest ever published. It is the narration of an unexpected death, of an abrupt, absurd and frustrating stop, of a final point in Russian roulette. A story above all of nothingness and blank pages, the simultaneous end of a narrator, a hero, a reader, a book, the extinction of an entire universe. It is, in a way, a literary abortion. The reader is advised that this book contains a dedication,...

The Work Underground is a collection of allegories that I have written over the past 20+ years. There were many other of these subversive writings that I left out. Perhaps I will include them in an addendum. But here the reader will find a world of angst and sarcasm, and with nuances of laughter and despair. The setting and subject of these collected works are void of time and place. The writings here are based on life, though appear as fantasy, a...

ABOUT THE TITLEI started writing this book (first in my mind) when Monty Python was filming the The Life of Brian. I had no idea, as it was only shown here in Hungary more than ten years later, and I was not one of the well-informed few, I didn't even speak English. Yet I noticed the same thing as the Big Team: how many ridiculous contradictions there are in the Bible and in the respect for it. At first - when I still considered myself a Christian...
