| Publisher Description: Paul arrives in Budapest to give a lecture, but finds himself seeking an elusive woman, and increasingly caught up in some odd connections between football hooliganism, a mafia protection racket, a shooting or two, and the strange work of a dissident sculptor. And all he really wanted to do was get a freebie trip out of the British Council and, finally, eat some Hungarian goulash. Film-texts are in the format of a film-script, but are not designed for actual film production. They are intended to be read and imagined, and play with a variety of familiar film genres, including romantic comedy, political thriller, and tourist guide: a kind of fantasy travel souvenir. Other NCQ film-texts are set in Athens, Prague, Rome, Venice, and fourth-century Egypt. |
