I had the privilege that the most famous Romanian writer and candidate for the Nobel award, Norman Manea,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Manea
read my first novel, ”Esto’s Lover”, published by Curtea Veche publishing house, Bucharest, in 2010, and wrote a blurb on it for a possible English edition:
”I’m pleased to know that a message of love and admiration to the great Ernesto Sabato is coming now from my native Bukovina and from a new generation of Romanian writers.
The author has imagined a love story in which the woman-lover of Sabato, herself a Romanian, is telling their amorous adventure, with all the pathos, lyricism and tension of a non-professional writer, a subtle kind of scenario that keeps a touch of the burlesque, of nostalgia and play in the novel of Constantin Severin.
Argentina and Romania meet in a inter-textual fiction beyond borders and history”.
