Love to get lost there
I love his magic worlds. I love to get lost there, but it's so hard to get out sometimes. It's not for the fainthearted.

I found him in the torrid Bucharest's summer...
Because four years ago I had the revelation that he is my spiritual twin. Because I found him in the torrid Bucharest's summer right at the moment a loved one left me. Because he is a master of worlds, and a great mystic.

Reality meets dream
Now I know that the sink in my kitchen is desperately devoted to a star, the queen of the beetles, shining over black linoleum. In Cartarescu's poetry reality meets dream, oniric visions are hidden in a mirror. I can expect everything from a writer who fell in love with a wonderful Dacia.
