Allen Ginsberg letter to István Eörsi, 1990 March 28.

Ginsberg suggests "appeals from Eastern Europeans to stem the tide of right wing censorship here!" He encloses news and a PEN Club statement (not present) and suggests György Konrád send a letter for printing in the N.Y. Times. He gave similar material to a conference of Czechoslovakan literary figures at New York University under the auspices of George Soros and the International Research & Exchanges Board that included Jaroslav Koran the translator of Gary Snyder, Josef Jařab who is editing a translation of Ginsberg, Jiří Pelán of Odeon publishing and Egon Bondy. Ginsberg is going to Prague where he'll meet Nanao Sakaki and Jiří Wein, relates travel and reading plans, and the possible appearance of Ed Sanders who has financial problems and Anne Waldman. Ginsberg asks whether Hungarians voted for the "Chocolate" Market and notes that the Democratic Forum in Germany did poorly in the election and wonders "How'll it go" in Prague, Budapest, Moscow, Bucharest, Sofia, Washington?"
