"Like Nabokov, Tamas Dobozy combines the best elements of European and American storytelling, creating a fictional world of his own." -- David Albahari, author of Gotz and Meyer, WINNER OF THE ROGERS WRITERS' TRUST FICTION PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY QUILL & QUIRE LONGLISTED FOR THE FRANK O'CONNOR INTERNATIONAL SHORT STORY AWARD "Alice Munro...Isaac Babel...Those comparisons may sound daunting, but Dobozy has mastered the technical conventions of his craft... This vivid rendering of Hungarian history as a nightmare from which no one quite wants to awake is Dobozy's finest achievement." --Garth Risk Hallberg, The New York Times Book Review "The sheer variety of Dobozy's approaches to telling stories, and his commitment not only to provoke thought but to entertain, constitute a virtuoso performance. Siege 13 is without question one of my favorite story collections ever." --Jeff VanderMeer, The Washington Post "From the dark cityscapes of besieged Hungary to the émigré cafés of contemporary North America, Siege 13 spans continents and decades, and in doing so illustrates once again that old maxim: the short story can be both as broad and as deep as a novel. At times gently humorous, at times quietly wise, Dobozy's thirteen stories dazzle with their psychological nuance and brilliant attention to detail. These stories are never less than breathtaking ." --Jury Citation, Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize "Colorful and rich in detail and full of life." -- Publishers Weekly "Gripping, and powerfully written.... these stories come together to create a wonderful book: Bravo, Tamas Dobozy." -- Historical Novels Review (EDITOR'S CHOICE) " Siege 13 , Tamas Dobozy's new collection of short stories, shows us once again that he is an excellent storyteller , one of the few who keep the art of writing good short fiction alive. His stories are usually about Hungarians living outside of Hungary, lost forever in the labyrinth built on the thin border between memories and reality, past and present, words and silence. Like Nabokov, Tamas Dobozy combines the best elements of European and American storytelling, creating a fictional world of his own ." --David Albahari, author of Gotz and Meyer, WINNER OF THE ROGERS WRITERS' TRUST FICTION PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY QUILL & QUIRE "From the dark cityscapes of besieged Hungary to the émigré cafés of contemporary North America, Siege 13 spans continents and decades, and in doing so illustrates once again that old maxim: the short story can be both as broad and as deep as a novel.

Siege 13 is one of the best books of the year ." --Mark Medley, National Post (Canada) Praise for Last Notes: And Other Stories "Tamas Dobozy--like David Bezmozgis ("Natasha"), Dave Eggers ("A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius") and even Jeffrey Eugenides (at least in "The Virgin Suicides")--has mastered the art of deadpan , which is hard to pull off in print....We laugh at these wayward, distracted characters, ha-ha-ha! We're laughing at ourselves." -- Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times "These strange and intense stories [are] packed with fast-paced weirdness...treats to be savored. Dobozy, a Canadian of Hungarian descent, likes to upend old saws and twist the routine, and he does this most powerfully in the stories drawn from his European ancestry." -- Alison McCulloch, New York Times Book Review "The 10 first-person stories of Dobozy's debut, remarkable for their psychological and emotional complexity , yearn to make sense of eccentric and opaque behavior, sometimes by engaging in it. The first story, 'Into the Ring,' centers on a married couple who box each other to release the mutual frustration of their inability to conceive.

Synopsis
These stories follow ordinary people caught between the pincers of aggressors, leading to actions at once deplorable, perplexing, and heroic. Built around the events of the Soviet Budapest Offensive at the end of World War II and its long shadow, the stories in Siege 13 are full of wit, irony, and dark humor. In a series of linked stories that alternate between the siege itself and a contemporary community of Hungarian émigrés who find refuge in the West, Dobozy utilizes a touch of deadpan humor and a deep sense of humanity to extoll the horrors and absurdity of ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of brutal conflict and its silent aftermath. Observing the uses and misuses of history, and their effect on individuals and community, Dobozy examines the often blurry line between right and wrong, portraying a world in which one man's betrayal is another man's survival, and in which common citizens are caught between the pincers of aggressors, leading to actions at once deplorable, perplexing, and heroic. Dobozy's stories feature characters, "lost forever in the labyrinth built on the thin border between memories and reality, past and present, words and silence. Like Nabokov, Tamas Dobozy combines the best elements of European and American storytelling, creating a fictional world of his own." (David Albahari, author of Gotz and Meyer ). Illuminating the horror and absurdity of war with wit and subtlety, Tamas Dobozy explores a world in which right and wrong are not easily distinguished, and a gruesome past manifests itself in perplexing, often comical ways. Winner of the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize Praise for Siege 13 "Alice Munro . . . Isaac Babel . . . Those comparisons may sound daunting, but Dobozy has mastered the technical conventions of his craft . . . This vivid rendering of Hungarian history as a nightmare from which no one quite wants to awake is Dobozy's finest achievement." --Garth Risk Hallberg, The New York Times Book Review "The sheer variety of Dobozy's approaches to telling stories, and his commitment not only to provoke thought but to entertain, constitute a virtuoso performance.

Siege 13 is one of the best books of the year." --Mark Medley, National Post (Canada), Written when Ms. Bortolani was fifteen years old, The Siege (L'assedio) is driven by a brazen, exuberant voice and a linguistic acrobatics not unlike that of the most celebrated European teen prodigy poet--Arthur Rimbaud. Phantasmagorical and surreal, the poems move us through the chameleon-shadings of lust and love. Ljuba Merlina Bortolani was born in Bologna in November 1980. She is the author of three poetic sequences. She is a student at the University of Bologna. Michael Palma is a world-renown, prize-winning translator of Italian poetry. His terza-rima translation of Dante's Inferno will be published by W.W. Norton in January 2002., Built around the events of the Soviet Budapest Offensive at the end of World War II and its long shadow, the stories in Siege 13 are full of wit, irony, and dark humor.
