“Because Paul Erdos was a genus-and he shared his brain. He helped people with their math problems and gave them more problems to do. Plus, he was a math matchmaker.
He introduced mathematicians all over the world to one another so they could work together”

pickLove her writing. This is an epic tale of one young man's journey through WWII. I think the prewar section could have been cut back. The author seemed to be in love with her research at times. Like most war novels, it is heartbreaking at times. 3 🌟
pickPublished in 1957, this reads as an immediate view of the 1956 Hungarian revolution and flight of refugees. It‘s also completely a 1950s warning against communism. I was very much invested in the stories of these people who fought for and then fled their homeland.
🎧 I listened to the audio (a few hours while disking today) and found it bearable but not great.

2) Many but most recently James Michener. When I learned he volunteered in the 1950s to help Hungarians escape the Soviets and communism, and how it inspired him to learn all he could about the situation, I was so impressed and I learned immense amounts about a country I knew so little about, #Hungary, thanks to #foodandlit
Thanks for the tag!
pickThe past is never settled in this unsettling novel by Magda Szabo.
The murder of young Henriette in WWII has a lasting effect on all of the three families that had been peacefully living closely together in Budapest until the. Her death is symbolic for all that happens in the book during the war and the communist period afterwards. In their complicated attempts to save one another, the characters are just as likely to destroy one another. ⬇️
