Career
Born in Budapest, Hungary, he escaped his homeland during the Soviet occupation and subsequently endured an itinerant life in immediate post-war Europe, managing to emigrate, first to the United Kingdom and then the United States of America, finally settling in Gainesville, Florida. Three of his short stories appeared in the respected literary journal, The Virginia Quarterly Review. In these works he frequently deals with the after-effects of World World War II, both on his homeland and the individual.
His later work is heavily influenced by the landscape of south and north Florida as it flashbacks to the horrors faced before his escape from occupied Budapest.
