Would you read a book from a Hungarian writer?

Ray Dart answered

It would have to be in English (or French or German, if not too "clever") I cannot (and will never be able to) speak Hungarian.

Mr too. Won a free ticket to the local movies for an essay competition in the local paper That was 5th grade, too. (Dunn how that compares to 5th grade in the US but I was 9 or 10 at the time.)

I was 9 in 5th grade. My story is a running joke in my family. My daughter in-law is a published biochemist and I always say "I'm published too". Every eye in the room rolls.

I used to go running with a guy with a Ph.D in Statistics. Published across the world in statistics journals and one day, when I was telling him the story of Dr Faustus, he said, "I never know when you're telling the truth and when you're just maing it up."
I said, "John, what have you done with your education?" (Which was pretty cheeky from a no-nothing like me.)
And he sighed and said, "It was all numbers."
I wonder if your daughter-in-law was as precocious as you and got herself published in 5th grade? Biochemistry would have made fascinating reading. :D

In translation? Of course. Wonderful people, the Hungarians. I used to belong to a Hungarian club and they not only welcomed me, they made me a blood brother. We drank much Tokay together. :)

That was never suggested. I looked up puttanos and the closest I came was puttana, the Italian version of the spanish puta. Didn't quite apply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaji

The concentration of aszú was traditionally defined by the number of puttony of dough added to a Gönc cask (136 liter barrel) of must.[7] Nowadays the puttony number is based on the content of sugar and sugar-free extract in the mature wine. Aszú ranges from 1 puttonyos to 6 puttonyos, with a further category called Aszú-Eszencia representing wines above 6 puttonyos. Unlike most other wines, alcohol content of aszú typically runs higher than 14%. Annual production of aszú is less than one percent of the region's total output
