Book Description: “A Central European classic to be discovered and relished.”—Eva Hoffman “A stunning novel. Funny, nightmarish and jubilant.”—Libération 'Although it took almost 40 years for Metropole to be translated into English, the book holds up well. In the same way that Kafka becomes relevant again every time you renew your driver's license, Karinthy captures that enduring, horrifying and exhilarating state of being at the mercy of an unfamiliar land.'—Jessa Crispin for NPR Budai finds himself in a strange city where he can’t understand a word anyone says. One claustrophobic day blurs into another as he desperately struggles to survive in this vastly overpopulated metropolis where there are as many languages as there are people. Metropole is a suspenseful and haunting Hungarian classic, and a vision of hell unlike any previously imagined. Ferenc Karinthy was born in Budapest in 1921. He was a translator and editor, as well as an award-winning novelist, playwright, and journalist. |
