Pilinszky János

He often called his friends at night to tell them he had finished a poem. Sometimes he would stay up all night in his clothes, afraid that they would come for him. Even as an adult, his mother or sister-in-law would cancel meetings if he wanted to hide from the world. Everyone who knew him loved him, but none of his three great loves like to talk about him. Who was János Pilinszky, the man hiding behind the beautiful lines?
