The Literary Memory of Sándor Petőfi
Discussion and Reading
As the third event of the “Petőfi Mirages” series, András Mink talks to Zoltán András Bán and József Keresztesi about Petőfi’s literary memory. The selected excerpts will be read by Adrian Samudovszky and Janka Veszelovszki.
Who was Petőfi for literary posterity? How was his literary and poetic importance perceived? Is it possible to separate Petőfi’s poetic role from his political and public myth in the literary tradition? Are we allowed to joke about Petőfi? During the evening we will try to answer these questions in the light of literary excerpts.
Participants: András Zoltán Bán, writer, playwright, and critic, and József Keresztesi, writer, poet, and critic
Moderated by: András Mink
The selected excerpts will be read by Adrian Samudovszky and Janka Veszelovszki.
The event is in Hungarian.
