Gluck artfully deploys such materials - from jokes to cartoons - to analyse a community that faced simultaneous stresses from internal ambivalence and external anti-Semitism" - Larry Wolff, The Times Literary Supplement.“The Invisible Jewish Budapest has . . . been hailed as a significant addition to scholarly examinations of Jewish contributions to the emergence of modern urban centers. . . . [Its] enjoyable prose, fluid translations, relevant illustrations, and devotion to recreating the era via a dazzling spectrum of periodicals, newspapers, and travelogues has earned it a place among cultural histories of modern Hungary.”—Hungarian Cultural Studies
