Hungry as Hunters and Up the Sandbox reviews
A critical review compares Hungry as Hunters to Nabokov but finds the Hungarian protagonist Lazlo Kovacs’s comic premise wasted by overlong wordplay and self‑contained satire. Up the Sandbox is praised for fresh, vivid fantasy about a New York wife and mother who imagines political roles, Castro, and women’s Lib with sharp irony.
