For Hungarians the past is always present at the dinner table, as is curiosity, sensitivity and a love for the spicy parts of life. This is a culture, after all, who love their paprika almost as much as they love a good yarn.
This autobiographical first novel by a Budapest-born American poet and translator follows the destiny of Attila Nagy, from his Hungarian childhood under the Communist regime and his family’s escape to Cleveland following the revolution to his dysfunctional adulthood and unhappy marriage-all of which are redeemed by a lucky tumble into mythology.
Dancing was her life. Until a paralyzing virus threatened to shatter her dreams.
„A Taste for Paprika” is a tenderly written history of love and loss and, ultimately, renewal, its secrets unfolding through the commotion of generations in the quieter moments of life: in kitchens, at tables, beneath the silver ting of soup spoons.
