Rozgonyi, David
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Rozgonyi (born in 1976 in Libya) is a Hungarian author and world traveler.
He is the author of Goat Trees: Tales from the Other Side of the World (2006), a collection of short fiction written in and about places as diverse as Cambodia, Hungary, Japan, the South Pacific, China, and northern Africa.
David Rozgonyi has visited over thirty countries, including most recently India, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Germany (2006-2007). Themes of trans-national brotherhood, the similarity of humanity’s problems and the need for greater cultural understanding predominate and inform his writing, and his life in general. He has served as fiction editor for several U.S. literary journals, and he writes and speaks on independent, sustainable travel, Asia, and the dangers of cultural ignorance.
Although a U.S. citizen, Rozgonyi has expatriated himself permanently from the United States, and maintains a residence in Pécs, a medieval city in the south of Hungary. He is currently working on his next novel, Two Dolphin, a post-colonial critique of the West’s exploitation of the East set in Cambodia and told through the examination of the interactions between an ecovillage and a traditional Khmer village.
