Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

Constantin. Un portret

Constantin este povestea experienței lui Mihai, un tînăr student venit din provincie la București, acasă la cel care i-a închiriat o cameră pe perioada studiilor: Toader Constantin. În apartamentul dărăpănat al acestuia se petrec o serie de întîmplări tragicomice, ai căror protagoniști sînt chiriașii săi, oameni de tot felul, cu povești de viață dintre cele mai diferite și mai interesante, care trăiesc într-un București poate prea pragmatic și uneori chiar ostil. Constantin este el însuși o poveste, care nu se lasă însă descoperită prea ușor, nici chiar de „bunul chiriaș” Mihai. O carte despre Bucureștiul real, despre oamenii care îl populează și, în cele din urmă, despre viață așa cum e ea, descrisă cu un fin spirit de observație și simț psihologic.
