Contra Mundum Press has chosen Szentkuthy as its featured and primary author, and intends on publishing one book of Szentkuthy's every year. Additionally, in July 2013 they will devote a special issue of their art journal, Hyperion: On the Future of Aesthetics, to Szentkuthy. The issue will include not only review-essays by literary historians but translations of new material as well as other work. Furthermore, the publisher intends on staging various events around Szentkuthy's work, including readings at bookstores, as well as conferences, symposiums, and collaborations with other artistsI'm thrilled they're putting this much effort into this, but he's certainly an author worth it.

As Hanshe says, "the development of the readership of Szentkuthy, as with every writer, is a slow and patient process, one which occurs gradually over time, with patient, diligent, and concerted efforts. Yet there already seems to be a compelling interest in his work.And it sounds like he's in good hands, too.
