Thirty years have passed since the collapse of communism in Hungary, and its capital city Budapest has transformed into a somewhat trendy tourist hotspot complete with all the positives and negatives that accompany such a development.

The first English language novel I read that was set in transition-era Budapest was Arthur Phillips' ironically titled narrative Prague, which was, well, not very good.

Some are better than others, but very few capture the turbulence and flux of those tempestuous years.
