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 CountedGéza Csáth: The Diary of Géza CsáthGyörgy Dalos: The CircumcisionMargit Kaffka: The Ant HeapImre Kertész: The Union JackDezső Kosztolányi: Kornél EstiGyula Krúdy: The Adventures of SindbadSándor Márai: The RebelsNoémi Szécsi: The Finno-Ugrian VampireAntal Szerb: Journey by MoonlightSzegedi Szüts: My WarKrisztina Tóth: PixelPéter Zilahy: The Last Window-GiraffeBéla Zombory-Moldován: The Burning of the WorldAnthology: 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.
