Sándor Márai (originally "Sándor Károly Henrik Grosschmied de Mára", archaically English: Alexander Márai; 11 April 1900 – 21 February 1989) was a Hungarian writer and journalist.
The culture of Hungary varies across Hungary, starting from the capital city of Budapest on the Danube, to the Great Plains bordering Ukraine.
 Hungary has a rich folk crafts tradition, for example: embroidery, decorated pottery and carvings.
 Hungarian music ranges from the rhapsodies of Franz Liszt and folk music to modern songs influenced by folk music and Roma music.
 Hungary has a rich and colorful literature with many poets and writers although not many are known abroad due to the limited prevalence of the Hungarian language.
 Some noted authors include Sándor Márai and Imre Kertész, who have been gaining acclaim in recent decades.
 János Kodolányi was well known in Italy and Finland in the mid-20th century.
 Imre Kertész won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2002.
 Péter Esterházy is popular in Austria and Germany, and Magda Szabó has recently become well known in Europe as well.
The White Album is a 1979 book of essays by Joan Didion.
 Like her previous book "Slouching Towards Bethlehem", "The White Album" is a collection of works previously published in magazines such as "Life" and "Esquire".
 The subjects of the essays range widely and represent a mixture of memoir, criticism, and journalism, focusing on the history and politics of California in the late 1960s and early 70s.
 With the publication of "The White Album", Didion had established herself as a prominent writer on Californian culture.
 As one contemporary reviewer stated, "California belongs to Joan Didion."
Hungarian literature is the body of written works primarily produced in Hungarian, and may also include works written in other languages (mostly Latin), either produced by Hungarians or having topics which are closely related to Hungarian culture.
 While it was less known in the English-speaking world for centuries, Hungary's literature gained renown in the 19th and 20th centuries, thanks to a new wave of internationally accessible writers like Mór Jókai, Antal Szerb, Sándor Márai, Imre Kertész and Magda Szabó.
