About the author

Erzsébet Galgóczi (natively Galgóczi Erzsébet) was a Hungarian writer. She wrote short stories, novellas, plays and film scripts. Her work is often described as realist fiction. Originally a committed socialist writer, Galgóczi gradually lost faith in the regime, and her work reflects her growing criticism of political repression and corruption. Her most successful work in Hungary is Vidravas, and her novel Törvényen belül, translated into English as Another Love, was made into a film by the award-winning Hungarian film director Károly Makk. The film, Egymásra nézve, was released in 1982, and its English title is Another Way. In 1978, Galgóczi received the Kossuth award. She was also the recipient of the SZOT award (1970) and the József Attila award (1962, 1969, 1976).
