It was a truly rather special and quite humbling experience to have a chat with Péter. He is an author whose stories, shrewd insights, and truly life-affirming perspective I can never tire of, be it in print or in person. Thank you so much for honouring me with your presence and your trust, as you were sharing so many things for the very first time. I am terribly grateful to Open Books Publishing for offering me this smashing opportunity even before the book’s release. I wholeheartedly recommend Péter Gárdos’s latest book, The Forgers, to absolutely everyone. The novel constantly questions and challenges us regarding human character, our decisions, and the rather difficult realities of public life.
