Whatever you choose, please come back and tell us what you think! I had never (at least that I know of) read a book by a Hungarian author either. Interestingly, Kertész was not that appreciated in Hungary so he first got his fame in Germany. In his Nobel speach, however, he paid homage to his country . . . though he does still accuse it of ignoring the Holocaust. Laura, are you planning to read Fatelessness first?

This is one I haven't read yet, but it's on my list b/c of Kertesz being a Nobel reader, and from a country I haven't "visited" yet. I read another review that tempted me, and now this one ... can't wait!! Another great review!
