History has a way of finding you.
Alex Buday writes about power, money, human nature and the quietly absurd machinery of everyday life. His work moves between literary satire, personal memory and cultural observation.
Having lived through the final years of the Eastern Bloc, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the confident reinvention of almost everything that followed, he tends to approach fashionable certainties with a certain reserve.
