In 'Un relato policíaco', Imre Kertész presents the story of a member of the secret police of an unspecified Latin American country. This character, about to be executed, shares his experience within the police force. Through his story, Kertész raises questions about the involvement of human beings in the machinery of a dictatorship and how they come to participate in it. The work explores the perspective of the executioner, showing the fall of a man into moral indifference and the impoverishment of the soul, offering a key to understanding our era.
Imre Kertész was a Hungarian author and recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature. His works deal with themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship, and personal freedom.
