Snippets - Kiss, Kata

. .

Résumé :
This book was written in a time when we did things differently. Everybody had a new story. We lived in fairy tales, our streets had their own stories and families learnt to understand each other better. When you can't go to faraway places, you look around our own streets. Most of these stories seems to have the same backdrop. A city with rain, noises from the background and dark silhouettes behind the curtains. Streets with people and stories. In a dream. The colours, the tastes, the sounds, and the views of nature got new meaning, new reflections, and new adventures started with no finishing line in view. Kata's processing of one language into another gives the stories a kind of stillness, it's melancholy seems to come from a European heart.

Biographie:
Kata is originally from Budapest, but she is enjoying her life in beautiful Sydney for more than two decades. Living at the beach was her dream always. After retiring from SBS Radio in 2017 her other childhood dream came true when she published her first book in English. 'As a journalist/broadcaster for 18 years I told many stories about real people, real lives. Now I have the pleasure to create characters and set them free in a fantasy world.' She worked as a radio and television presenter from her early childhood but chose to be a teacher. She later worked as a marketing manager, copywriter, and as a producer in her old country. She even sang in a band for a couple of years. English is her second language and as such it was a great challenge to express herself. The readers can decide if she did well but take note, she is writing her next book.
