The Story of Endless Ends
Marenčin PT, 2022, 304 p., ISBN: 9788056909454
Where does this story begin? In a hotel room where two strangers meet? In the small apartment, where does Lars come to see his mother? Or in a dirty pub, where Boris invites another of his seemingly insignificant dates? If we cannot be sure of its beginning, then how can we know exactly where and when it will really end? And what if it’s not about these characters and events, but is much more about an ordinary person living their life?
It was supposed to be a novel about Lars, but in the end it is a novel for Lars. He becomes the main observer, but also the cause of all the events and thoughts that make up the novel and which eventually merge into a single picture. A novel about endings and beginnings, about beginnings and art, about art and human being.
In 2023, the book received the Slovak Ivan Krasko Prize Premium for the best debut.
The writing and publication of the work was supported from public funds by Slovak Arts Council (FPU). The work was supported in the grant program “Art – literature” by the Slovak Tatra banka Foundation.
Chopin’s record
Tatran, 2025, 224 p.
Leonard lives his stereotypes. He listens to a record with Chopin’s music, watches life from outside the window, walks down the street… However, suddenly events and situations enter his life that he cannot logically explain. Suddenly, it’s as if nothing makes sense anymore – his reality takes on a new form, denying everything before.
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
— Anaïs Nin
Chopin’s record is a certain symbol, a trace in Leonardo’s memory, who, through listening to it again, discovers the ways in which he looked and views life, and that memories and thoughts can often prevent him from seeing the real world without attributes. Chopin’s record is a novel about dreaming, a novel about forgetting, but perhaps most of all a novel about constant awakening and searching for the essence of things.
The writing of the work was supported from public funds by Slovak Arts Council (FPU). The manuscript of this work was created with the financial support of the Slovak Literary Fund.
Closeness
2026
What do a stepfather, a married couple, pub philosophers and emigrants have in common? Surprisingly many. They are connected by a paradoxical closeness, which, despite the common concept, always seems to be different and often opposite to what it should mean. When does a person discover true closeness to a place, home or person? Is it really when it is closest to a place or a being, or is something much deeper, hitherto unknown, hidden in the Closeness?
What Am I Writing About?
In my books I explore being, the passing of time and the fleetingness of the present moment. For the most part, I don’t present a clear story to the readers and I don’t give definitive answers, I guide them through the given issue, ask questions and invite them to complete the book together with me and the characters.
