János Horvát is a Hungarian poetess and writer. She writes under pen name Varga H. Mária (Varga – her birth name, and that continues as her family name.) She is interested in literature and reading since she was a child. Although her parents were manual workers but they instilled in her love of books. So, after their hard work, and whenever they had some free time, they always had a book in their hands. Hence, Varga H. Mária says, “Writing is such that when inspiration strikes, you have to put it down on paper immediately. At least the gist of it.” Therefore, her desk is always full of little notes of paper, with lots of topics to write something. Now, she is approaching seventy, and as a pensioner, she has more time for her favorite occupation. So, she tells, “Whether it is morning or night, but in the quiet hours of the evening her Muse is also more willing to guide her pen.”

Looking at the Work of Imre Kertész - Essay by Varga H. Mária

Although Kertész is proud of the award but regrets that his work is better known in Germany than in Hungary. Nonetheless, he hoped that his Nobel Prize will attract the world’s attention to Hungarian literature and, as well, to those writers who could also have received the award.
