Dezső Kosztolányi (1885–1936) was a writer, poet, literary translator, critic, and one of the greatest figures of 20th-century Hungarian prose and lyrics. His poetry encapsulates many of the thought forms and stylistic trends of the time. Dezső is considered the father of futurism in Hungarian literature.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #15, 9), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
