Miklós Szentkuthy (1908-1988) was a Hungarian writer, translator, and literary visionary whose work defied categories.

Mixing philosophy, fiction, and autobiography, he created one of the most ambitious and idiosyncratic bodies of work in 20th-century European literature.

Best known for his St. Orpheus Breviary and Marginalia on Casanova, Szentkuthy wrote with baroque intensity, intellectual playfulness, and a fearless disregard for convention.
