"A delirious Wittgenstein, a disgruntled Gracián. With the Tractatus Róbert Gál gives us an axiomatic philosophy perplexed by its own doubts and uncertainties."
—Eugene Thacker
LITERATURE, APHORISM, POETRY
"Whether he's inverting the closing line of Wittgenstein's Tractatus, upending some cliché, or crafting stark truisms that exude a hard-won simplicity, Róbert Gál's amusing and pessimistic micro-philosophies are always a rare joy."
—Gary J. Shipley
Memoir, Fiction, Philosophy
"The starting point and the point of return intersect, perhaps on a single level higher, perhaps on two. Hegelian dialectic couples with myth on eternal return. We exit from agnomia and into her we return, illuminated by the journey, by the experience of words."
—Ladislav Šerý
experimental prose
"Róbert Gál is a phenomenon unto himself: a purveyor of neurotic philosophy encapsulated in elliptical portents and epifragmentals, the content of which is at all odds with their length."
—Joshua Cohen
Aphorism, Philosophy, Poetry
"For Gál, the paradox is the order at the heart of things; it is both the structure of the universe and the 'logic' of the human mind."
—Jane Bennett
