His life before the political transition was multi-sided: renowned novelist and drama-author, a source of critical opinion towards the régime but also an informant to the Hungarian secret police (reluctantly according to him).

Csurka himself is publicly associated with verbal anti-Semitism and saw himself as a representative of some 3 million Hungarians who live outside Hungary in the aftermath of the Treaty of Trianon.

According to a report in The Independent about the right-wing cultural offensive of early 2012 he was "convinced Zionists had plans to establish a second home in Hungary.

In the fall of 2011, Csurka was named as intendant for Új Színház ("New Theater") in Budapest by the new director, Hungarian actor György Dörner, who is affiliated with the far-right Jobbik party.
