Péter Nádas
Biography
Péter Nádas was born in Budapest in 1942 and was raised by his grandparents as his mother died of cancer and his father, a state prosecutor, committed suicide shortly after the 1956 Hungarian uprising. He studied chemistry and photography and became a photojournalist. Emlékiratok könyve (A Book of Memories) was a cause célèbre, taking five years to get past the censors, and then attracting considerable attention in Hungary when first published in 1986.
