Books & CultureHungarian Literature

A Hungarian linguist arrives in an unfamiliar city whose language he cannot understand. Karinthy builds the novel around the practical frustration of trying to read a sign, follow directions or make himself understood.

Look for the English translation by George Szirtes. This is a short fiction choice for a reader interested in language or in Hungarian novels beyond historical realism.
