Another Love
Erzsébet Galgóczi
Lieutenant Marosi of the Hungarian border patrol has found the body of Eva Szalánczky, an old school friend whom he has secretly been in love with for many years. Eva was a lesbian, an outspoken critic of the communist regime, and a journalist whose stories were too hot to publish in the dangerous 1950s. Determined to find out the truth about her death, Marosi requests leave and heads for Budapest.
As Marosi pieces together Eva’s life, Another Love becomes more than a mystery about one woman, but a courageous, compassionate attempt to understand the political mystery of post-War Eastern Europe.
“Liberally laced with illicit affairs, provincial corruption, and characters’ drunken musings on freedom, Another Love doesn’t disappoint…. Was Szalánczky’s death murder or suicide? Was she a fool for love or just a sucker for utopia? Another Love asks some questions that matter.” — Village Voice
Erzsébet Galgóczi (1930–1989) was an acclaimed journalist, fiction writer, and political maverick. She was General Secretary of the Hungarian Writers Union until resigning her post in protest in 1987.
