He admits that, despite his age, he has a hard time growing up, he is still attached to fairy tales, rhymes, rhythm, play, and the idea that everyone has something unique that deserves attention. He has written volumes of poetry, books on literary history, has translated important and less important authors, has received and returned prizes and scholarships, like adults are bound to do. He teaches at the University of Bratislava; he thinks his classes are quite enjoyable. He has two children (Flóra and Kornél), who know more than him and are better than him at everything.
