Today’s podcast features a live recording of an event last fall with Benedek Totth, author of Dead Heat. It’s a book that has received a lot of positive reviews by major publications, but fair warning to the faint of heart: It’s a book for fans of dark, graphic literature.
Totth studied American literature and now works as an editor and translator in Budapest. His translations into Hungarian include works by Stephen King, Cormac McCarthy, andHunter S. Thompson. Dead Heat caused a sensation in Hungary, where it won the Margó Prize for best first novel of the year. Find out more about the book at the link below.
