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!
