In April 2009, I taught 5 classes at the University of Pécs in postcolonial literature and delivered lectures at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) and Gáspár Károli University, Budapest. Students at all these universities are keenly interested in Canadian literature and Canadian English; my hosts were wonderfully hospitable. Both cities are beautiful and full of wonderful architecture, amazing art museums, and delicious pastry. Pécs has been named the European Capital of Culture for 2010.
