The Hungarian author was last year's Nobel Laureate, so we decided that we'd better take a look at his oeuvre. Sátántangó is a bleak novel that describes the lives of the people living on an "estate". The people lie, cheat, and steal from each other, wallowing in their own problems, until Irimiás, a man they thought dead returns.
