A Visit to Târgu Mureș in 1999

Summary/Abstract: This autobiographical prose text recounts György Gömöri’s journey to Târgu Mureș in 1999 for a literary evening at the invitation of György Gálfalvi. Beginning with a missed train in Budapest caused by the spring change of time, the narrative follows an improvised route through the advice of Béla Pomogáts, a night transfer at Kocsárd, and a dawn arrival in Târgu Mureș. The text combines travel anecdote, linguistic observation, and post-communist social atmosphere, including encounters with Romanian fellow passengers, Gálfalvi, and Kovács András Ferenc. The visit culminates in a public reading at the Palace of Culture, where the author reflects on distance, reception, and his position as a Hungarian poet living in England who is gradually received into Transylvanian literary life.
