The Life Manager and Other Stories
In Mirela Roznoveanu's new book of fiction, human love is everywhere but strangely hard to find. Love animates a world where the tangled web of sexuality, commitment, language, place, and history enthralls us with its tantalizing detours, its cruel pretenders, and its unexpected pleasures. These tumultuous pages introduce us to people we can instantly recognize and never forget. From adventures that vividly signal a lifetime's meaning each returns with something new--something utterly different from that which was sought. Here in her first major work in English, we find the pulsing, streaming vision of time, place, history and character that distinguishes Roznoveanu's work in her native Roma...
Born Again, in Exile
"Within the tradition of polished verse, Mirela Roznoveanu has accomplished an astonishing marriage of Romantic elements. The elegance of Brecht and Rilke converses with the occasional surrealism of Rimbaud, flavored by a Baudelairian melancholy which moves the reader between the streets of New York City and ancient landscapes both historical and mythological. A good portion of the text is translated from the Romanian, and these especially seem masterfully rendered. At a time when formalist experimentation dominates much of the poetic scene, it is wonderful to have a collection that reaffirms the beauty and craft of the image within the geography of self discovery."--William James Austin, WilliamJamesAustin.com, kojapress.com "This is the voice of a poet who identifies herself with Iphigenia by redeeming herself, transcending personal drama and sacrifice, and triumphing in the realm of culture and creation." --Nina Cassian Translating Mirela Roznoveanu one cannot help being reminded of intensities and flights of the imagination from such distinctive poetries as those of Emerson, Dickinson, Plath, and Stevens. --Heathrow O'Hare
Epic Stories
What is the human being duty and what is the source of my restlessness, of my metaphysical impatience? Could it be that exile has made me a woman of no fixed abode? These questions are coming from a woman with hybrid origins who lived in a communist dictatorship country; fought injustice and censorship and was punished by the secret police; was involved in Romania’s 1989 Revolution; witnessed the post-communist nomenclature and secret police stealing back the country; wrote the history of the world fiction, a comparative study in Romanian; at the age of 44 she left both her home and her language behind and settled into the US and into English as she saw herself as an exile not just from he...

Prozatori și eseiști
Geo Vasile ne propune o selecţie riguroasă de 100 de prozatori şi eseişti aleşi din întreaga istorie a literaturii. Elementul inedit, provocator şi inevitabil în acest context este selectarea şi plasarea, evident, justificata, a unor redutabili prozatori şi eseişti romani în contextul generos şi selectiv deopotrivă al concertului universal al literaţilor. Astfel, alături de autori precum Paul Auster, Saul Bellow, Mario Vargas Llosa, Julio Cortazar, Henri Miller, Philip Roth etc., sunt aşezaţi Nicolae Breban, Augustin Buzura, Petru Cimpoeşu şi mai tinerii săi colegi, argumentaţia adusă în arena de litere de istoricul şi criticul literar Geo Vasile fiind una perfect justificată, iar criteriul de selecţie – unul atotputernic: valoarea.
Mircea Eliade
Mircea Eliade (1907–1986) was one of the twentieth century's foremost students of religion and cultural environments. This book examines the emergence, function, and value of religion and myth in his work.Nicolae Babuts, Robert Ellwood, Eric Ziolkowski, John Dadosky, Robert Segal, Mac Linscott Ricketts, Douglas Allen, and Liviu Borda examine Eliade's views on the interaction between the sacred and the profane. Each explores Eliade's phenomenological approach to the study of religion and myth. They show that modern rites of initiation, cultural activities, and spectacles like bullfighting, film, and, perhaps surprisingly, reading and writing, all harken back to the archetypal structures of ...
Lumea românească în zece prozatori
Creatorul romanului cinic, la noi, Nicolae Breban, ostil aşa-zisului „fatalism” mioritic, face ca Mioriţa alungată pe uşă, la nivel conceptual, să se reîntoarcă pe fereastră, la nivel epic, prin feminizarea mişcării de rezistenţă naţională, în surprinzătorul său roman Jocul şi fuga. Când am făcut selecţia primilor nouă prozatori, nu m-am gândit că vor ieşi, din nouă cercuri, alte trei cercuri „danteşti” pentru cele trei tradiţionale provincii româneşti. Constat cu uimire „egalitatea” lor în construcţia României moderne, dar şi a cărţii mele. Au ieşit, fără nicio intenţie, câte trei scriitori, pentru fiecare provincie, care mi-au asaltat s...
