she moved to Berlin, where she studied theater arts and

Hungarian literature at Humboldt University and screenwriting

at the German Film and Television Academy. She has

worked as a translator of contemporary Hungarian literature

and freelance writer since 1998. Her first collection of stories,

Strange Matter (Seltsame Materie, 1999), received rave

reviews, and one of its stories won the prestigious Ingeborg

Bachmann Prize (1999). Her first novel, Day In Day Out (Alle
