(2007)ISBN 978 963 13 5524 6 The original intent was that this post would have been two or three separate posts, but time constraints put an end to that plan.

Zsigmond Móricz (1935)Picture source at Wikimedia Commons Before I begin posting on Zsigmond Móricz’s Relations I thought I would include a post looking at the author and the introduction to the book written by George F. Cushing (Corvina Books, Ltd.; 2007). I’ll have to admit I had not heard of Zsigmond Móricz until I picked […]
I try to keep blegs to a minimum but your help would be much appreciated on this. I’m hoping to help a photographer friend that is pulling together some photos of Native American ruins, rustic barns, etc. in a ‘vanishing America’ type of album.

I will draw attention to this extended quote since it highlights […]

Three articles have “mask” in the title (and other articles mention the word, too): “Masks Behind Masks: A Portrait of Miklós Szentkuthy” by András Nagy, “Behind the Mask and Under the Surface: […]
Since my notes on several books I’ve read have been lost, I thought I would start posting on what I’m currently reading…which is many articles about Miklós Szentkuthy as well as the recently released translation of Towards the One and Only Metaphor. Instead of having 20 tabs open in my browser I’m going to collect […]
Well, the play is over but I thought I would share this clip from Shakespeare Santa Cruz on The Taming of the Shrew. In it are Gretchen Hall (Kate), Fred Arsenault (Petruchio / Christopher Sly), and Edward Morgan (Director). They get to the heart of the play in the first sentence when mentioning […]
