===[[Prague (novel)|''Prague'']] (2002)=== ''Prague'', despite its title, is set almost entirely in [[Budapest]], [[Hungary]], primarily in 1990, with an interlude detailing several previous generations of Hungarian history, from the [[Austria-Hungary|Austro-Hungarian monarchy]] through the First and Second World Wars.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/mar/25/featuresreviews.guardianreview15 |title=Putting the Pest in Buda|work=The Guardian|author=Lasdun, James|location=London|date=March 28, 2006}}</ref> The main line of the novel follows a group of young Western expatriates through their lives in Budapest. The structure of the novel allows for various tales to be interwoven, producing an ensemble portrait of them and their adopted city, just recovering from decades of Communism, fascism, and war. The novel's recurring themes include nostalgia, sincerity and authenticity, and young people's first search for meaning in life. The novel was well received commercially and critically, winning Phillips a 2003 '''Los Angeles Times/Art Seidenbaum Award''' for Best First Fiction,<ref>{{Cite news|date=March 10, 2003|title=Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalists Announced|work=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/la-mediacenter-2003-01-story.html|access-date=June 1, 2021}}</ref> as well as other honors. {{citation needed|date=April 2014}}
