The Margó Literary Festival launched the Cemetery of Favourites years ago in an attempt to establish active relations with the deceased greats of Hungarian literature, bringing today’s readers closer to our literary tradition. This tradition is not a given, we have to attend to it, so the aim of the series has remained unchanged: to re-read the classics and see what they tell us today. To establish the connections, we invite critics, writers and poets to enter into a dialogue with the classical texts. Some of the authors who have been summoned in the Cemetery of Favourites were János Arany, János Pilinszky, Ágnes Nemes Nagy, György Petri and Jenő Rejtő. This year, slammers, poets, writers and musicians will revisit the texts of István Baka, Dénes Csengey, György Petri and Géza Szőcs, among others.
