During his time in America, Szigeti took to writing; his memoirs, "With Strings Attached: Reminiscences and Reflections" were published in 1947. "The New York Times" reviewed it favorably: although in their description the book was "constructed along utterly anarchistic lines, with each episode and anecdote left pretty much on its own", they asserted that "It also has the flavor of life in it, and it is marked by an exhilarating revolt against the custom of arranging catastrophes and triumphs under neat chapter headings".
