Paetzke Hans-Henning

Since 1968, I have been “skewing” (Péter Esterházy’s term of address in his letter to me: Kedves skeirdítém) Hungarian literature (novels, textbooks, essays, poetry).

My authors include Béla Bartók, László Benedek, Zoltán Böszörményi, Péter Esterházy, György Konrád, György Kurtág, Miklós Mészöly, Balázs Mesterházy, Péter Nádas, György Petri, János Pilinszky, Sándor Richter, Magda Szabó, Iván Szelényi, Géza Szőcs, Dezső Tandori, Melinda Varga and many others.

Since the 1980s, several of my autobiography-inspired novels have been published by German and Hungarian publishers.
