Biography
Biography
Zelei graduated from the University of Szeged in 1973. He then studied at a journalism school and became editor-in-chief of the APN news agency. In 1977, he was awarded the Zsigmond Móricz Fellowship. From 1978 to 1986, he worked for the daily newspaper Magyar Hírlap and subsequently for Délmagyarország. Zelei vocally called for an opening of the border between Mali Slemence and Veľké Slemence. His novel, A kettézárt falu, told the story of how this village was split in two. Zelei died on 28 October 2021, at the age of 72.
