== Life ==<br />
Born in Budapest, Sebestyén grew up bilingual in Budapest – as was often the case at the time. He published his first novel in Hungarian. The [[ethnology]] graduate fled to Vienna in 1956 after the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956]], in which he had actively participated.<ref name="AEIOU 2001" /> From then on, he published in German. In 1963, Sebestyén became an Austrian citizen.<ref name="AEIOU 2001" /> From 1988 to 1990, he was president of the {{Ill|Österreichischer PEN-Club|de}}.<ref name="AEIOU 2001">{{cite web | title=Sebestyén, György | website=AEIOU | date=31 July 2001 | url=http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.encyclop.s/s477064.htm | language=de | access-date=22 June 2021}}</ref><ref name="Österreichische Nationalbibliothek">{{cite web | title=Sebestyén, György (1930-1990) | website=Österreichische Nationalbibliothek | url=https://www.onb.ac.at/bibliothek/sammlungen/literatur/bestaende/personen/sebestyen-gyoergy-1930-1990 | language=de | access-date=22 June 2021}}</ref><br />
