Laszlo Naszodi
Everybody can write; even among professional writers the percentage of those who can write is as high as 12.37. George Mikes: Shakespeare and Myself
You don't think that Ms. Piggy is smart, just because she uttered a good sentence on TV, do you? I admit that I heard some wise thoughts from the mouth of the President, too. So I did from Sylvester Stallone. They have good scriptwriters. I don't. I'm on my own and these are my own thoughts. Or, at least, I forgot that I read or heard them before, and later I identified with them. So, here is my first miniature that you can quote about unintentional plagiarism: "Senility can make someone brilliant. Don't blame the one who lost memory but kept sensitivity to other's good ideas." Now let's go back to the President, who cannot say that his deeds are unintentional.
President Bush is cited thousands of times a day but how many original thoughts he has? What the President and I have in common is that we both are proud of those words that are quoted under our names. Separately, of course. The difference between us is that I admit that some of those thoughts may not be mine. Secondly, unlike him, I acknowledge that I am an idiot sometimes. But it doesn't matter. If I become a famous writer, people will quote the words below as mine, no matter who said them first or if they make sense at all. If I don't become famous, they are still worth a penny or more. You can stick the short ones to your bumper and wear the longer ones on a T-shirt. Or whatever. I hope that I will be so famous that even the previous ambiguous expression "Or whatever" will be attributed to me and not to GWB.

Menj Amerikába!
A Kerouac-i, Steinbeck-i hagyományokat egyaránt folytató regény főhőse egy ellentmondásos generáció tagja. Hogyan fér meg egy személyben a világcsavargó és a fizikai tudományok kandidátusa? Milyen viszonyok kényszerítenek egy alapvetően hazaszerető férfit arra, hogy családját, ingatlanját és ingóságait hátrahagyva az Újvilágban keresse a helyét és a boldogságot?
A főhősben a konzervatív egyén tusakodik a kábítószerekkel, szabad szerelemmel kacérkodó csavargóval. Ki az erősebb? A természettudós vagy a hobó egy emberen belül?
"Drugs are for people who can't deal with reality" vagy "Reality is for people who can't deal with drugs"?

Tűzkereszt, vagy amit akartok
Baptised in Fire, or Whatever
Short stories in Hungarian
Amikor kivándoroltam az Újvilágba, azt hittem, hogy tudok angolul. Amerika földjén a Bevándorlási Hivatal tisztviselőjével beszéltem először.
-Tcsanéj sza?-szegezte nekem.
Azt hittem, hogy csak azért nem értem, mert déli akcentussal beszél. Egy év után rájöttem, hogy a mondat így hangzott volna artikulálva: “What’s your name sir?”
Értetlenségemre többször is megismételte a kérdést, majd megváltoztatta a hanghordozását és lassan, szótagolva kérdezte, mintha hülyével volna dolga:
"Do you speak Eng-lish?"
"I do. Do you?"
Nem volt humorérzéke. A beléptetés elhúzódott, a Los Angeles-i csatlakozást lekéstem.
- Ha már New York-ban ragadtam, körülnézek - gondoltam. Két óra múlva egy félelmetes alakokkal zsúfolt utcában találtam magam kirabolva.
Welcome to America!
