Margó Literary Festival and Book Fair
For four days, Várkert Bazár will again be the centre of the literature, helping the reading public to get up to date with the latest in Hungarian and word literature, and hosting the city’s only book fair in the autumn, where forty publishers will present their latest releases.
The festival’s featured authors will be André Aciman, Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Kim Leine, Sissel-Jo Gazan, Elisabeth Åsbrink, and Emily M. Danforth. Attila Bartis, Tibor Bödőcs, László Darvasi, Orsolya Karafiáth, Péter Nádas, and Noémi Szécsi will introduce their new books. László Krasznahorkai’s new novel will be presented in an unconventional performance by actor Péter Haumann and drummer Szilveszter Miklós. There will be concerts too, with Ivan & The Parazol and András Lovasi among the performers. The fifth Margó Prize for the best first volume of prose will again be awarded at the festival.
