Literature and Fiction
For years, Elza has gotten by. A divorcée out of culinary
school, she started her own little restaurant in the midsize
Hungarian city of Delibab, and she’s grown a decent
business, cooking quality versions of Hungarian classics and
serving them with a smile. But lately her smile has dimmed.
Her loveless affair with her sous-chef has become an
irritation. She’s getting sick of the same old dishes and
the same old customers, and she can’t help but think that
perhaps the right review, from the right critic, would
change things … But in these nascent years of capitalism, it will take some
competition—both personal and professional—to really make
Elza see that her restaurant, and her happiness, are worth
fighting for. Author Marc Fitten fell in love with Hungary
after years spent living there. His buoyant second novel is
a celebration of Hungarian culture and cuisine, as well as a
portrait of a woman and her country in transition.
