Kis' Writing Style

In "The Magic Card Dealing," Kis writes about Tarot cards. In his description of the cards he writes, "Two sides of the same coin. The head and the tail. Light and dark. Tragedy and comedy. A parody of one's own grandeur. The proximity of sex and laughter. Sex and death" (p. 66). When I read this, I was immediately struck by how this description could also be said to describe the style in which Kis writes, specifically "Tragedy and comedy". On the previous page discusses a game involving lice, which is equally comedic and desolate. I noticed many similar passages, which create a feeling of realism in Kis' work.
