His literary career started in 1965 with the publication of his reviews in the cult magazine <i>\u00daj Symposion<\/i>. He has been intensively present on the literary scene of Vojvodinian Hungarians, former Yugoslavia and Serbia ever since. He has collaborated with all prominent literary magazines of the region. After the 1989 social and political changes, he started publishing his books in Hungary and contributing to Hungarian magazines as well. In 2005 a short monograph about V\u00e9gel\u2019s opus entitled <i>V\u00e9gel-Symposion<\/i>, containing selected reviews of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 V\u00e9gel\u2019s works by Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian critics, was released in Budapest. The monograph editor Zoltan Virag states that the literary opus of L\u00e1szl\u00f3 V\u00e9gel is important, among other things, because it synthesises traditions and narrative impulses of Hungarian literature and literary discourses from the former Yugoslav territories. In this respect, L\u00e1szl\u00f3 V\u00e9gel equally belongs to Hungarian literature, but is simultaneously one of the few minority authors who have settled in the circulatory system of Serbian literature. As Aleksandar Ti\u0161ma wrote, V\u00e9gel is a prosaist of modern, urbane vocation and he is \u2013 according to P\u00e9ter Eszterh\u00e1zy \u2013 a predecessor of Hungarian prose for this very capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Works:<\/p>\n<p>Novels: <b><i>Memoirs of a Pimp<\/i><\/b> (<b><i>Egy makr\u00f3 eml\u00e9kiratai<\/i><\/b>, 1967); <b><i>A Course in Passion<\/i><\/b> (<b><i>A <\/i><\/b><b><i>szenved\u00e9lyek tanfolyama<\/i><\/b>, 1969); <b><i>Double Exposition, <\/i><\/b>(<b><i>\u00c1tt\u00fcn(tet)\u00e9sek<\/i><\/b><i>,<b> <\/b><\/i>1984); <b><i>The Novi Sad Trilogy \u2013 Memoirs of a Pimp, Double Exposition, Ekhard\u2019s Ring<\/i><\/b> (<b><i>\u00dajvid\u00e9ki tril\u00f3gia \u2013 Egy makr\u00f3 eml\u00e9kiratai, \u00c1tt\u00fcntet\u00e9sek, Eckhardt gy\u0171r\u0171je<\/i><\/b>, 1993); <b><i>Exterritorium<\/i><\/b> (<b><i>Exterit\u00f3rium<\/i><\/b>, 2000); <b><i>Parainesis<\/i><\/b> (<b><i>Parain\u00e9zis<\/i><\/b>, 2003).
