Posztmodern írónak tekinthetjük Esterházyt? Magyar Miklós kötete erre a máig vitatott kérdésre keres lehetséges válaszokat. Következésképpen nem lehet és nem is kíván a téma minden kétségen felüli lezárása lenni. Sokkal inkább - összhangban azzal, ahogyan Esterházy maga is elhatárolódik alkotóművészetet merev kategorizálásától - olyan értelmezési módozatokat kínál, amelyeken keresztül az írói munkásság annak árnyaltságában, rétegzettségében tárulhat elénk. Az egyes fejezetek az intertextualitás, a humor, a sajátos olvasási lehetőségek, a nyelv egyszerre mesteri és játékos birtokba vételének kérdéseit tematizálják, miközben külön-külön és együttesen is közelebb vihetnek bennünket ahhoz, ki is az az Én.

"Pinta szerepként mondta:
- Ezek a nők! Örömükben el-eltörik a mécses. Hát igen: napfény, patak, a sok kedves háziállat. Nagy a kísértés.
- A természet öle - dörmögtem.
- Öl - mondta fölösen valamelyikőnk. Fancsikó vészjóslóan forgatta el egymásion két kis virágkezét.
- Megkértek, hogy holnap reggel 8-ig lennénk ha szívesek elhordani az irhánkat.
- Hát hordjuk el - vonta meg a vállát Pinta, és alamuszin meglökte az asztalt. (Mit remélt?)"

Audiobook The Legions of the Mist written by Damion Hunter. An awe-inspiring account of the final days of Rome’s forgotten legion. The Ninth Hispana was once the pride of the Roman Army, wreathed in honour for numerous successful campaigns. But by the time it was joined by Centurion Justinius Corvus, it had clearly fallen on hard times. Smarting from the sting of his recent demotion, and a transfer to Britain, a land he despises, Justinius nevertheless works hard to bring to his men some of the same pride he feels as a Roman soldier.
