Welcome

This is a blog about the literary works of the great 20th century novelist, Sandor Marai (or Márai Sándor, if you want to include the accent marks and use last name first, as the Hungarians do). His name is pronounced Maa'-ruh-ee Shahn'-door.

Now that Sandor's works are being translated into English, it is clear that he is a major, major writer. Of the stature of Thomas Mann, if not quite Proust. I would like to add as much information as possible so that his English-speaking readers can know more about these fascinating works.
