My rating: 4/5
Book review:
I haven't read a novel by a Romanian author in a long time. I, along with many other young people here, tend to avoid local literature because:
a) it may be full of social commentary and communism issues (people are already fed up with it, yet it may prove interesting for a foreigner);
b) it might be brimming with obscene words (although there is a market for that, I'm sure);
or, simply, c) it may turn out to be a disappointment.
Surely, this could be a reaction of a country whose members are not overly patriotic, read less and less and are not able to come to terms with their place (and time) in history.
