One Minute Stories
“Örkény’s sketches and anecdotes, here published for the first time in English, provide a wonderful introduction to a city and its inhabitants, who have always managed to spring back, cheeky, irreverent, wholly without illusions, no matter how brutally repressed or violently pushed down… In a mad world, it provided the only sane response, that of laughter.” Andrew Riemer
Translated from Hungarian by Judith Sollosy
