I the Mr. László Várkonyi, general manager of the Editions I open Történetek, had called a special meeting early in the morning. We attended a single employee, the editor Pál Csáky, a kind of scout who had promoted the short fiction in Hungary until it is at a high level of popularity. Pál was responsible for seeking authors and works, and in turn acted as a filter. Normally, if an author came to the desk of the director Várkonyi, its publication was more than likely. He was a very busy man and did not want to waste his time reading something that had no future. However, the last work that was done on his desk, a Ferenc Szálasi this, he was not liked at all.
- Pál But, please, how did you get this book? What do you see in this author? It is not original, and what he writes is not short fiction. What I read seemed longer than the Mahabharata and the Odyssey combined. How can you introduce me as Szálaszy micronarratives? Tell me of, 'What was special?
Then the editor said
- Mr Várkonyi, in this life you can learn everything. They taught him to write in the blink of an eye. But meanwhile, our publishing house micronarratives lives and had to take this opportunity: Ferenc Szálasi measures just fifty-eight inches.
