@KrishnanRP I'm looking for an example in poetry where head noun and relative pronoun are separated by a list of adjectives qualifying the noun. Will let you know if I find anything. I think topicalization would be clearer if the noun were in the accusative form and started the clause.

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

@KrishnanRP In the second example, you can't really say 'of the Mecsek' without putting it after the noun, so in Hungarian that word would more or less have to separate the head noun from the relative pronoun. Not sure it's special enough to count as topicalization.

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

@KrishnanRP Since 'könyv' is the nominative rather than the accusative form of 'book', I would expect another verb to appear after the relative clause, governed by the book. Sorry, my quotation marks have all gone astray in my first attempt to help!

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

@KrishnanRP Well the example is odd to this non-native speaker, but 'amit' is the relative pronoun which refers to the direct object, not to the subject. I would have expected to read
a 'könyv, amit 'János említtet', meaning 'the book which J. mentioned'.

In the end, Berlin's stories endure rather than her autobiography...

And the more one reads Berlin, the harder it is to determine whether the short episodes in the stories really happened: no way of knowing if her husband's dealer was really stabbed...

Berlin's early work at least precedes Serge Dubrovsky's coinage of the term in 1977.

Her short form works against the norms of autofiction, which is not meant to be real, but to seem authentic, and typically harnesses significant length as a mark of authenticity.

Berlin interested in how life can be misrepresented in art.
#camformforgetting

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

She effectively creates new form of short story, persevering experience in her own terms against critiques of peers.
#camformforgetting

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

Berlin accused of amateurism from start, partly due to decision to write stories with great proximity to her own life. Her husband was a heroin addict, for example.

[Cambridge AHRC DTP @CamDTP]

Feminist criticism’s counsel against over-association of women writers with their lives quite deliberately ignored by Berlin.
