Kertész denies and sues - Soproni Ász
n the 50-s Kertész Imre writer had a very good personal and spiritual
friend Bán Pál, a writer too who left the country in 1956 October 25-th
with a passport. In 1959 after 3 years he was declared a dissident and
his comedy Csacsifogat which he left at home in the form of a
manuscript soon after was played by 3 different companies and
presented more than 2500 times as written by Kertész Imre. The two
men did not speak one to the other for the past 40 years. Bán Pál would
have forgotten about this affair had he not learned that Kertész Imre
declared in a TV show that largely due to the successes Csacsifogat had
and the copyright fees collected from it he was able to write his
Noble-Prize winner novel Sorstalanság.
Bán: "During the huge success of Csacsifogat my parents did not receive
Any copyright fees and he did not send at least a flower to my mother."
Soproni Ász tried to reach Kertész Imre but the writer refused to give a
telephone-interview.
