Bokáig pezsgőben

A memoir in conversation, edited from a radio interview recorded more than twenty years earlier and brought up to date in 2015. Its narrator joined a Budapest publishing house as an editor in 1952 and later ran a literary journal for twenty-five years. Rather than a plain account of his life, it is a portrait of his contemporaries told through anecdotes: writers, poets, colleagues and friends with whom he lived through a golden age of Hungarian literature. Photographs and book dedications accompany the text.
