       At hlo they have an interesting paper by Zsolt Czigányik that 'examines reader's reports in the archives of a Hungarian publishing house, and provides a glimpse into the elaborate ritual of tacit negotiations and the exercise of self-censorship in the Kádár era' -- with a focus on George Orwell and Anthony Burgess --, Literature and censorship in the Kádár era in Hungary.
       They only provide the very summary reader's reports on the Burgess works -- barely more than thumbs up or down -- but it's still pretty amusing/disturbing.
