Synopsis

The English Hungarian poet takes us inside his love-hate relationship with his adoptive country. He is both outsider and insider, viewing his two countries from a distance as well as with intimate knowledge and delicate understanding, and in the powerful climax of the title-sequence, imagines England destroyed by five apocalypses.

Author Bio
George Szirtes was born in Budapest in 1948, and came to England with his family after the 1956 Hungarian upraising. He was educated in England, training as a painter, and has always written in English. In recent years he has worked as a translator of Hungarian litrature producing editions of such writters as Agnes Nemes Nagy, Oto Orban and Zsuzsa Rakovsky. He also co-edited Bloodaxe's Hungarian anthology The Colonnade of Teeth. After four collections with Secker and five with OUP, he published his hungarian retrospective The Budapest File with Bloodaxe in 2000. He lives in Norfolk and teaches at Norwich School of Art and Design.
