Philip Roth

Philip Milton Roth was an American novelist and short-story writer. Roth's fiction—often set in his birthplace of Newark, New Jersey—is known for its intensely autobiographical character, for philosophically and formally blurring the distinction between reality and fiction, for its "sensual, ingenious style" and for its provocative explorations of American identity. He first gained attention with the 1959 short story collection Goodbye, Columbus, which won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction. Ten years later, he published the bestseller Portnoy's Complaint. Nathan Zuckerman, Roth's literary alter ego, narrates several of his books. A fictionalized Philip Roth narrates some of his others, such as the alternate history The Plot Against A

Mateiu I. Caragiale

Mateiu Ion Caragiale (Romanian: [maˈtej iˈon karaˈd͡ʒjale]) was a Romanian poet and prose writer, best known for his novel Craii de Curtea-Veche, which portrays the milieu of boyar descendants before and after World War I. Caragiale's style, associated with Symbolism, the Decadent movement of the fin de siècle, and early modernism, was an original element in the Romanian literature of the interwar period. In other late contributions, Caragiale pioneered detective fiction locally, but there is disagreement over whether his work in the field produced a complete narrative or just fragments. The scarcity of writings he left is contrasted by their critical acclaim and a large, mostly posthumous, following, commonly known as mateists.

Mihai Mateiu

Despre mine/ About Myself
M-am născut în 1976 la Târgu-Mureş. Acum trăiesc în Cluj, e un oraş bun pentru mine.

În 2003 Tribuna mi-a publicat primele două povestiri. De atunci, textele mele au apărut în diverse reviste: Familia, Apostrof, Noua literatură, Tribuna, Magyar Napló, Helikon, Egophobia. Câteva proze scurte au ajuns în antologiile Az ev muforditasai 2008 (Magyar Napló, 2008), The Aesthetica Creative Works Annual 2009 (Aesthetica Magazine, 2009), Minimal (Mirador, 2009) şi Echinox (Echinox, 2011).

Literatura e o alegere asumată. Ca scriitor, mă consider mai degrabă un muncitor decât un intelectual. Încerc să-mi cunosc meseria cât mai bine, să fiu cât mai profesionist, să nu fac compromisuri – cred că datorez asta celor care mă citesc.

Pavel Nedelcu

Writer of Romanian origin. Translator and literary critic.

Editor of the cultural magazine LiterNautica. BA in Foreign Languages and Literatures and MA in Translation and Interpreting.

His literature addresses social issues such as confusion and alienation in the present world. It speaks up for the oppressed, the poor, the “mentally ill”, the immigrants, the “unfit”. It denounces patriarchy and its subtle mechanisms of oppression of women. It uncovers environmental pollution. Finally, it reveals what is left of humanity in an increasingly inhumane world.

Eugen Barbu

Romanian modern novelist, short story writer, journalist, and correspondent member of the Romanian Academy.

His most famous writings are the novels Groapa (1957) and Principele (1969). Barbu's prose, in which the influence of neorealism has been noted, drew comparison to the works of Mateiu Caragiale, Tudor Arghezi, and Curzio Malaparte.

It was however, considered unequal by several critics, who took into measure Barbu's preference for archaisms, as well as his fluctuating narrative style.

Barbu also wrote several film scripts,some of which were for films starring his wife, the actress Marga Barbu (Florin Piersic's Mărgelatu series).

Wolfgang Hilbig

Wolfgang Hilbig was born on 31 August 1941 in the small town of Meuselwitz in Saxony, Germany, about 40 kilometers south of Leipzig. Hilbig’s childhood in Meuselwitz, a target for Allied bombings during World War II and later the site for a thriving brown coal industry (much to the detriment of the environment) during the East German era, has had an influence on much of the writer’s work. Hilbig grew up with his mother and her parents in Meuselwitz, never having known his father, who was reported missing in 1942 during the Battle of Stalingrad.

At first Hilbig favoured poetry, but his works
remained unpublished in the GDR. He received attention from the West however, as a result of his poems in the Anthology 'Cries For Help From The Other Si
