Description:
Against the backdrop of Hungarian and Hungarian-Jewish history, in Garden Party a procession of living but also dead relatives, friends, opponents and nameless passers-by passes before the mind's eye of the first-person narrator. Tragic events alternate with strongly erotic passages, with cheerfulness and introspection, humour and happiness. Amidst the festive noise of ghosts, the first-person narrator is confronted with his own aloofness and with the active political involvement of the best friend of his youth, who eventually emigrates to the West. The first-person narrator has become less attached, but has stayed.
