Summary/Abstract: A little-known and in the West probably not in the usual sense acclaimed and celebrated - because "untypical" - Dissident from the (in spite of all) atypical Eastern Bloc Hungary is György Dalos. Recently he published, after some unsuccessful attempts at Hungarian publishers, some poems and prose pieces at the Rotbuch publishing house in West Berlin: "My situation in the situation". A booklet that ironically criticizes the given situation of the real in Hungary - not without leaving a bitter aftertaste, but which should eventually lead to thinking through and thinking ahead. Some things are also known to us in the "free" West, when the laughter sticks in the throat: the resistance against normalized ways of thinking and turmoil against predetermined and "proven" ways of thinking, rebellion against deadlocked language structures. On the occasion of a stay in Vienna, we had the opportunity to talk to György Dalos about the situation and perspectives of the opposition in Hungary.
