Frigyes Karinthy - A Journey Round My Skull

A friend turned me onto an international bookstore in Budapest which has an entire section of translated Hungarian novels which is where I bought this. I had no idea Hungary had such a rich literary tradition and I'm counting the days 'til I can go back to Budapest :)

Depending on what kind of novels/etc. you're looking for, I could give you some recommendations -- or even send something by post :) (although not that much of the Hungarian literature is available in English). There's some stuff available online (on Amazon, like this gem: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Journey-Moonlight-Antal-Szerb/dp/190...) or in digital form.

Ha actually my friend bought Journey By Moonlight - I'll try to borrow it off him once he's done. I'm guessing you're Hungarian based, do you know of any HN-related goings on in Budapest? I'm only a few hours by train away and I'd love an excuse to go back :)

Ah, Karinthy! I remember doing a production of his ´Refund´ [http://www.scribd.com/mobile/doc/170806254] in high school theatre many years ago; we had lots of fun.
