Features: The Other Person was completed in 1997, the second essay collection by Kertész after The Journal of a Fisherman published in 1992. The content is drawn from the author's diaries written in the first five years of the 1990s, presenting a systematic description of his own thought trajectory and a precise capture of his creative inspiration. Like The Journal of a Fisherman and The British Flag, The Other Person is one of the author's peak works, representing his thorough analysis and brave expression of humanity, society, ethnicity, and self. The renowned Hungarian novelist, Péter Esterházy, who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature multiple times, commented on The Other Person by saying, "I haven't read such exciting words in a long time. The novelty and spiritual stimulation of this book are contained within the courage of the artist."
