Recenzii

Cartarescu isone of the great literary voices of Central Europe. He daringly questions our usual way of looking at the world, suggesting that rationalism is merely an attempt to create order. In fact, the world is made up of the nuances of our fantasies
A Danubian Narnia. . . his writing delivers a rainbow-hued riot of fantasy, imagination and invention. . . If you looked for the perfect director to filmNostalgia, a joint effort by Guillermo del Toro and Terry Gilliam might just do the trick
Fiendishly clever, devilishly humorous and stunningly ambitious. . . one of Romania's most eminent novelists has finally reached Britain. It's been long overdue
Of a rare and wondrous brilliance. . . Julian Semilian's translation of this masterpiece is a heroic achievement
Cartarescu is not only a sophisticated, compelling storyteller but a first-class wordsmith. . . Between them these stories bring forth a fabulous narrative universe, a place where the ordinary and extraordinary intermingle and miracles are a matter of routine
Visionary and tormented. . . mixes history, autobiography and magic realism. There are hints of Bulgakov as well as an aura of Donald Cammell's and Nicolas Roeg's cult 1970 filmPerformance; a whirlwind of seedy glamour and despair that is itself a reflection of a nightmarish totalitarian state, as well as a scintillatingly detailed portrait of adolescence and retrospective longing
A timeless invitation to dream and embrace the comforting power of personal memory, the only sure bulwark against the effects of totalitarian control. . .Gripping, impassioned, unexpected-- the qualities that the best in literature possesses
If mind-warping literature is your thing, read this book, then read it again
A bright star on the firmament of European literature
Creator of a universe that's caught between dream and reality,Cartarescu is a revelation
Romania's leading novelist and poet. . .Cartarescu's phantasmagorical world is similar to Dalí's dreamscapes
