Eighty Wooden Puppets

Summary/Abstract: In a subjective account, the author discusses the works of György Gálfalvi, a major critic and editor of Transylvanian Hungarian literature during the Communist regime in Romania. The visits of the author, a Hungarian citizen, to the city of Marosvásárhely/Târgu Mureș were carefully documented by the Romanian secret police of the time, although the visits were simply about friendship, intellectual discussion, cultural exchange that were interpreted as having a political significance in the context of a totalitarian regime. The article, written for the 80th birthday of Gálfalvi, reconstructs the intellectual networks of the age through archival documents and personal memories.
