“I wrote some of my early articles on this Optima typewriter, as well as certain parts of Kulákprés and the first drafts of my short stories up until the early 1990s. (From then on, I switched to writing on a computer.) This is what I can offer for the auction — the photograph was taken on the veranda of my family home in Tótkomlós in the spring of 2026.”
