There Are Things I Would Change

Summary/Abstract: In a conversation with Imre József Balázs, post-1956 Hungarian émigré writer and germanist Sándor András reflects on the personal and professional decisions that shaped his academic career in the United Kingdom and the United States. Revisiting his experiences as an émigré intellectual, András discusses the circumstances that led him to pursue an international academic path, the opportunities and challenges of working within different higher education systems, and the often difficult relationship between his scholarly pursuits and literary activities.
