Harvard Book Store Author Series Presents:

Harvard Book Store is pleased to announce that on Friday, October 24th Susan Suleiman will be reading from her new book, Contemporary Jewish Writing in Hungary: An Anthology. This exciting new anthology features works by twenty-four of Hungary's best writers who have written about what it means to be Jewish in post-Holocaust Eastern Europe. Some of these authors were well-known in Hungary before World War II, while others did not start publishing until after the fall of Communism in 1989. Susan Suleiman's introduction provides a critical and historic context for these works and discusses the important role of Jews in Hungary from the late nineteenth-century to the present.
