Romanian authors for all seasons in New York

Mircea Mihaies presents Lindenfeld by Ioan T. Morar

The Romanian Cultural Institute in New York invites you to a literary discussion where  Mircea Mihaies will be presenting Lindenfeld, writer and journalist Ioan T. Morar’s first novel as part of the Romanian authors for all seasons program.

This is one of the events meant to promote Romanian literature in the United States among both a Romanian and an English-speaking public.

Published by Polirom (Romania) and first presented in Timisoara, the novel is a parable for the artificial society in which life itself is forged. A programmatic writing, Lindenfeld is intended both for the self-reflexive Romanian readers and for the Western public who might be interested in a tragedy that has not been featured in Romanian literature so far, that of the Saxons who were deportated to Siberia and later on sold to their relatives and to sponsors of human commerce. Mircea Mihaies believes that ‘in Ioan T. Morar’s writing, talent is the language spoken by intelligence. His work seduces the reader by its thorough design, which looks like a perfectly formalized play with the glass beads of wit. Lindenfeld is the book of a cardboard world and one of the most powerful novels written in Romania these past few years'. (in Romanian)
