Short story collection by Agota Kristof, "C'est égal" (French edition). This book is a collection of early French works written before her masterpiece trilogy, "The Notebook." It contains 25 very short stories written during her exile after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. In an unsettling and surreal world, sometimes accompanied by cruelty, the stories depict themes of exile, loss, the human condition, and the emotional detachment necessary for survival, all conveyed in a concise and unadorned style. This collection, which allows readers to feel the origins of the style that would later characterize her work, holds a particularly intimate position within Kristof's literary oeuvre.
