A prolific and respected author of the Hungarian middle class, M\u00e1rai only became known to American readers when Knopf published Embers in 2001, in a translation from the German \u2013 about which more anon \u2013 by Carol Brown Janeway. M\u00e1rai was suddenly enjoying the sort of posthumous success that writers, if they&#8217;re honest, hope for, not unlike the attention that&#8217;s being given today to Irene Nemirovsky&#8217;s lost corpus.
