The Budapest File

3/5 ( ratings)

"Through these poems, George Szirtes recreates a changing Budapest, from the city he remembered as a child, through the imaginative versions he created in exile, to the actual place he found on his return and after the fall of Communism. He writes as both an outsider, whose perspective is totally different from that of Hungarian writers translated into English, and as an insider, with an intimate knowledge and delicate understanding of a place which has always haunted his imagination."--BOOK JACKET.
