Feast in the Garden

A rich and moving narrative of love, lost innocence, and lost souls in a Hungary where a festive past still haunts the bereaved, restless present. Translated by Imre Goldstein. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book. Harvest in Translation series

The first novel in more than a decade by Hungary's most distinguished writer. "I am writing my most hazardous book, " says George Konrad. "I have been sentenced to examine myself." The result is a rich, poetic story of a man, a family, and a country--a vital and sensuous story from the president of International PEN.
