Tamas Dobozy is the author of Siege 13. He has published over fifty works of short fiction in such journals as Granta, AGNI, Fiction, and One Story. The story “The Restoration of the Villa Where Tíbor Kálmán Once Lived,” included in Seige 13, received a PEN/O. Henry Prize.

In the fall of 1944, the Red Army encircled Budapest, and the ensuing months witnessed one of the most brutal sieges of World War II. Richly grounded in this historical trauma and its extended aftermath, the stories in this collection illuminate the horror and absurdity of war with wit and subtlety.
