De Katalinstraat

The backdrop of Hungary's social and political upheaval adds so much depth to the characters' personal stories. I'm curious what motivated the choice of this specific time and place.

The way Szabó portrays the fragility of memory made me wonder how much of it was based on personal experience or research. Did it resonate with anyone else's family stories?

Knowing Szabó's own history, I wonder what personal insights she wove into the narrative and how that shaped the social commentary.
