Thank you!

A heartfelt thank you to those that came at my book launch at the Bookfest Book Fair, but also to those that could not make it but sent me all their support and congratulations!

‘The Corporation. Typologies and survival guide’ is to be launched at the Romexpo Book Fair

Come Thursday, the 30^th of May, at 7 p.m. at the booth of the Paralela 45 Publishing House (booth C13, pavilion B2) at the launch of my most recent book ‘The Corporation. Typologies and survival guide’.

 

Read below some details about the book:

Do you ask yourself if you are one of those workers at the ‘Working-in-Vain Cooperative’? Or if you have gone mad or if there are more like you that need to have clarity, strategy, communication and support?

No, you are not crazy, nor are you alone. We are many. And our stories are included in this book. Stories that present various types of colleagues and bosses, which I am very sure you have already encountered during your work experience. I made sure to also include experiences regarding interviews, resignations or dismissals. At the end, instead of a conclusion, you will find a Rom-English dictionary of phrases used in corporations and other places, too. All, including the dictionary, may suffer additions. For certain typologies, I have also included some ways to stand your ground because sometimes the way we act to certain behaviors can protect us from negativity, lack of responsibility or even harassment.

 

And why should I read this book, you may wonder, aren’t there enough crazy people at my office already?! Now, I’m supposed to take them with me during my quiet moment of reading?

Well, you should read the book because the sad thing is that you have already brought them into your life, your house, and they have already ruined your peace of mind. Also, they are the ones responsible for you quivering with stress. By reading this book you’ll be able to recognize them and to classify them by typologies, since nothing can be fixed unless it’s defined first.

 

Read the book, laugh, ponder on the stories and talk with your colleagues, friends, and family about the typologies presented in the book. Talking about it means finding solutions, and solutions will bring change. And we do need change in the work environments, in general. Only together we can create positive work environments!

Vlad Musatescu, the Extravagant – Dodo Niță

Reading Vlad Musatescu’s letters to Dodo Niță, I could not see a great difference to the writing style I was accustomed to while reading his books. He wrote letters the same way he wrote novels, and I remembered that I started inventing words after I had discovered his works. There’s a certain gentleness in almost all the lines from his letters, not only the custom one at the end.

I’ll try to translate below some of the things he wrote in the letters and which made me laugh:

„... because there are possibilities that enable the possibility and others that don’t”

„It’s formidabilous!”

„It hasn’t matter, life is in front of us.”

 

The Arges Literary Magazine was mentioned in the book, which was really funny since the new issue had just arrived at my house.

The Arges Literary Magazine – then and now

 

It seems that by the end of this year, the site dedicated to Vlad will be up and running -  https://vladmusatescu.ro/ . This makes me really happy and I cannot wait to browse through it.

 

And at the end of the book, I was again struck by the craving for a big tomato salad. But summer will come and Oxheart tomato will be available. And then, my dear master, I will honor you again!
