Book review:
For those of you who have seen Tales from the Golden Age and enjoyed it, Dan Lungu's novel could reiterate that experience. There is also a movie made after the novel in 2013.
I’m a Communist Biddy! is nowhere near a profound, serious novel; it doesn't promise revelations or novelties (well, at least for the Romanian readers, it doesn't). But it is undoubtedly funny, even in spite of the sad realities it encompasses. A book I fell in love with from the moment I read its first paragraphs and which I didn't want to part with, not ever. As far as I am cocerned, I fully enjoy Dan Lungu's writing; I appreciate his delicious humor, which is far from being stale, predictable or vulgar. I only wish for him to be finally translated into English!
