The disappearance

Too hot

Yesterday I was told that I would meet my Hungarian publisher this afternoon at 1 pm. This afternoon I was informed that I would meet him around 5 pm. In the meantime Rozi (I misspelled her name in my last blog) took me to a Turkish bath. That was fairly enjoyable although the sauna was slightly too hot for me.
But where is my Hungarian publisher? I met him for dinner in the fall of 2002. He was studying to become a rabbi then he decided to be a publisher.
The name of his publishing house is Ulpius-Haz.
Anybody who was information about András, the publisher, please, contact me. Or if the publisher is reading this, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
I didn’t turn into a wild animal. And book publishing is a contact sport isn’t it?

Arnon Grunberg next to Che Guevara and a dancing Totenkopf, a weird site, if you ask me. But maybe the publisher is only a very shy person. Good luck there.

Maybe he just wants to seem mysterious and interesting.

PS Sandor
Are you my Hungarian publisher?

your publisher
Hi Arnon,
I've just ordered your new book, I wonder what it's like.
The name of the director of Ulpius-haz is Andras Kepets, there's a former interview with him here:

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately I don't read Hungarian. Could you provide me with a rough translation of the interview?

Hi,
sorry, I thought you don't read Hungarian, however I've just linked the interview because of the pictures, you said, 'who has any information about him'. This interview doesn't contain any interesting for you, I think, it's just about the bestsellers of the publishing house in that year. But I could search other writings about him, if you'd like, just tell me what topic I would search about him.
bye

Anything you could find about him would be more than welcome.
said Arnon Grunberg 03/06/2007 18:52 • x
Ok, I've found some articles, I'll try translate the most interesting parts of them. Should I send via mail (if you give me your address) or should I write here?
