JUNO, and the long eye of history (In Manuscript form)

Juno, and the Long Eye of History is a work of literary scholarship as much as fiction: set on a single day and night in 1900 Budapest, it reconstructs the cultural world of a theatrical family at the city's heart through four years of archival research. Kaffka Margit is the novel's moral anchor; Lukács György at fifteen and Ditrói Mór, founding director of the Vígszínház, give the family's day its historical shape.

The central research question: who were the cultural voices infusing independent thought in 1900 Budapest, and how did Jewish, Christian, and minority artistic communities navigate the pressures of adaptation to a new nation? As an American of Hungarian descent — her grandmother Lillian Davidovitch and her sisters were first-generation Americans born to Hungarian parents from Pest — this book holds the memory of her suppressed ancestors close to the narrative.

Sarah is collaborating with Dr. Susanne Korbel of the Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Graz, and Dr. Judit Acsády, a Vienna-based sociologist whose work focuses on gender identity in Central Europe. Dr. Dobó Gábor and Dr. Mészáros Zsolt at the Petőfi Literary Museum have opened Kaffka's archive directly. Additional research has been conducted at the National Széchényi Library (Budapest), the IKM Institute (Budapest), the Austrian National Library, and the American Hungarian Library.
