Dear Friends of the Bardroom,
Alas, the night grows long, the days grow cold and the leaves change color. Come and celebrate your melancholic literary side with us and enjoy the works of some of Budapest's notable contemporary writers. And win valuable prizes! On October 27, we will be treated to the unique music and prose of The SOPHIeSTICATED, a special appearance by the original Bardroom Bard, the poet David Hill, and special guest Dragomán György will read from his book, The White King.
In addition, you'll have a chance to win some unique, local treasures when hosts David Hill and Kalman Farago test the audience's knowledge on a range of obscure literary topics as the Budapest Bardroom Quiz runs throughout the evening. For all potential bards, be prepared to participate in Poem of the Evening. The night's best impromptu poem (determined by audience reaction) will be selected from audience submissions collected throughout the evening.
Performers: Dragomán György: Is one of Hungary's most promising young novelists. His first work, A Pusztítás Könyve (Genesis Undone) won the Brody Prize and his second novel, from which he'll be reading on the 27th, A Fehér Király (The White King), published in 2005, won the Déry Tibor Prize and The Sándor Márai Prize. It is published by Houghton Mifflin in US and Doubleday in the UK. www.gyorgydragoman.com
The SOPHIeSTICATED: Sophisticated members include John Tarnoc and Sophie. They'll be playing a set of new songs entitled Etruscan Birds. Their music is a mix of electric guitar and bass, acoustic guitars infused with prose poetry. John is a poet and musician. He works with Pilvax Magazine and is chief-editor of KILINCS art magazine. www.jontarnoc.com
David Hill: Published poet, writer, and translator David Hill has been entertaining Bardroom with his comedic poetry for years. Currently based in the U.S., we're lucky to have the chance to welcome him back one more time. http://lyriklife.com
Venue: Treehugger Dan's Bookshop at Lazar u. 16 (Free Entry)
Date: Monday, October 27
Time: 7:30 PM
