description: Mricz succeeds in coming up with something new on the supposedly outworn subject of middle-class married life. A middle-aged civil servant almost has an affair and Mricz tells the story with compassionate understanding achieving an artistic effect of the very highest order. The Hungarian dance of death which concludes the book pulls into focus the falseness of inter-war Hungary commonplace today too.
