hungarian
When I think of Hungarian films, I think of despair and bleakness, and what's more, despair and bleakness of indefensible duration.
directors hungarian
Outside their country, Hungarian directors have had, from the critics at least, a friendly reception.
involves prolific
I'm not the most prolific writer in the world, and, sadly, writing a novel involves a lot of effort.
half literature events
I went to a British Council event a while back and there were lots of German professors of literature. About half of them were convinced I had a German sense of humour and the other half were sure it was British. They are probably still arguing about it now.
senior strong attitude
It's true, some senior Hungarian writers are not known for their laughter. There is a strong Germanic influence - an attitude that if it's enjoyable it can't possibly be literature.
up-early effort trying
You've got to try everything once, except those things you don't like, or that involve a lot of effort and getting up early.
