Petronela Rotar

Petronela Rotar nu are biografie literară. Maximum una pseudoliterară, cu indulgenţă. S-a născut la ţară, ca veşnicia lui Blaga, undeva lîngă Braşov, şi a făcut naveta la oraş. La şcoală, aia cîtă a făcut. La liceu, i-au apărut cîteva poezii în revista literară a şcolii, iar ăsta ar fi putut fi un început bun pentru o biografie literară, dar nu a fost. Apoi nu a mai apărut decît la televizor şi în ziare. Şi acolo, de partea greşită a microfonului. A fost reporter, editor sau prezentator la staţiile locale ale Pro TV, Antena 1, Realitatea. S-a apucat de două facultăţi, Litere şi Sociologie, şi nu a terminat-o pe niciuna. Are de gînd să nu o termine nici pe a treia. S-a apucat şi de doi copii, iar pe ăştia încă îi desăvîrşeşte.

Edgar Allan Poe

The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry.

Thomas Bernhard

Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian writer who ranks among the most distinguished German-speaking writers of the second half of the 20th century.

Although internationally he’s most acclaimed because of his novels, he was also a prolific playwright. His characters are often at work on a lifetime and never-ending major project while they deal with themes such as suicide, madness and obsession, and, as Bernhard did, a love-hate relationship with Austria. His prose is tumultuous but sober at the same time, philosophic by turns, with a musical cadence and plenty of black humor.

He started publishing in the year 1963 with the novel Frost. His last published work, appearing in the year 1986, was Extinction. Some of his best-known works include The Loser
