Tamás Fábián: Daring Feats No One Saw
In conversation with Anna Ott
Writing is a seriously intense activity—sometimes even deadly. A novel can change our lives, especially when it’s unfinished, and we need to find the missing final chapter. It’s never too late to start over, whether it’s about friendship, family relationships, or the deep, all-consuming creative drive buried in our souls. The question is whether we dare to face our most terrifying demons and try to at least leap over our own shadow.
The characters in Daring Feats No One Saw are young, yet already adults. Some are from the countryside, some from Budapest. Some are vassals of a corrupt authority, others relentless critics of the system. As the world hurtles toward the abyss and the heating planet challenges its inhabitants ever more, our personal problems remain largely unchanged: Do we dare to call someone life has swept away from us? Can we apologize, and even more, can we forgive? Wherever we are in life, the answer is never simple.
Tamás Fábián was born in 1987 in Nyíregyháza. He earned his undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts at the University of Debrecen and completed his master’s in Communication and Media Studies at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. He has worked as a journalist for fifteen years and has been with Telex.hu since 2020.
This is his first novel.

National Dance Theatre
On 15 February 2019, Budapest's unique new cultural arena opened its doors: the new National Dance Theatre in Millenáris Park. The building, equipped with the latest theatre technology and featuring unique architectural solutions, offers two theatre halls and a chamber hall for dance lovers, as well as rehearsal rooms for professional dancers. The foyer of the building will also become a community space open to visitors to the park, giving Millenáris the opportunity to become even more part of the capital's bloodstream.
