Shawn was kind enough to host me again, this time banging on about Hungarian/Magyarul literature in English translation, one of my personal obsessions. Click through to watch.
Books discussed:
Zsófia Bán: Night School (A Reader for Grownups)
Miklós Bánffy: They Were Counted
Géza Csáth: The Diary of Géza Csáth
György Dalos: The Circumcision
Margit Kaffka: The Ant Heap
Imre Kertész: The Union Jack
Dezső Kosztolányi: Kornél Esti
Gyula Krúdy: The Adventures of Sindbad
Sándor Márai: The Rebels
Noémi Szécsi: The Finno-Ugrian Vampire
Antal Szerb: Journey by Moonlight
Szegedi Szüts: My War
Krisztina Tóth: Pixel
Péter Zilahy: The Last Window-Giraffe
Béla Zombory-Moldován: The Burning of the World
Anthology: The Kiss (20th Century Hungarian Short Stories)
I deliberately didn't include Magda Szabo or László Krasznahorkai, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE BOTH GREAT AND I LOVE THEM, because they are the 2 Hungarian writers your average well-read person is already likely to know of.
