A Book of Memories

This novel was censored before finally being published in Budapest in 1986. It is the story of a young gay Hungarian writer living through the Stalinist 1950s, whose father--a state prosecutor--commits suicide after the 1956 Hungarian uprising. In 1997, Susan Sontag called A BOOK OF MEMORIES the greatest novel written in our time, and one of the great books of the century. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
