The Door (NYRB Classics)

One of The New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2015"

An NYRB Classics Original

The Door is an unsettling exploration of the relationship between two very different women. Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungaryâ‚¬s Communist authorities. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive, abrupt, seemingly ageless. She lives alone in a house that no one else may enter, not even her closest relatives. She is Magdaâ‚¬s housekeeper and she has taken control over Magdaâ‚¬s household, becoming indispensable to her. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. They share a kind of loveâ‚¬"at least until Magdaâ‚¬s long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation.

Len Rixâ‚¬s prizewinning translation of The Door at last makes it possible for American readers to appreciate the masterwork of a major modern European writer.
