Humor in Hungarian Literature
with Csaba Marosán
Wednesday, August 12th at 7pm
in Hungarian only. Meg vagy hívva játszótárs lenni! Adott néhány szerző a magyar irodalomból, akiknek a humorosnak vélt szövegeit beleteszünk egy kosárba. Egy adott térben és időben sorra kihúzzuk együtt ezeket a szövegeket, azt remélve, hogy a rekeszizmok nem maradnak statikusak. Marosán Csabával.
Hungarian House this year is celebrating its 60th year of operation in our beloved old building, that offers cultural programming and community activities that build the American Hungarian community and its local Yorkville neighborhood in NYC.
In 2ö26, we also commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising with a series of events through the '26 Fall/Winter season.
