Petőfi-mirages #3: The Literary Memory of Sándor Petőfi

PETŐFI-MIRAGES. Program series at the Blinken OSA Archivumban, April 5, 2023.

The Literary Memory of Sándor Petőfi. Discussion and reading

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 podcast is available only in Hungarian.
