Excellent. Beautifully worded and constructed, Andrei. Plus, a perfect picture accompaniment to have both before and after the piece.

I really enjoy your short, impactful fiction. So much subtext, so much background, just gold.

Thanks so much! A lot more is coming. And there’s plenty of this kind of writing in the book (which I’ve written in Romanian). I hope a press will want to publish it and I’ll be able to promote it this year.

Have not read a Romanian novel in decades. Fingers crossed for a decent publisher.

This is incredible! An entire film and character arc flashed before me as I read this. How marvelous that so few phrases can encapsulate so much.

❤️❤️❤️ Thanks a lot, Kimberly. I’m a sucker for brevity.

This is beautiful Andrei! Have you read Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red? It's a personal fave & the prose reminds me a bit of that ( in the best way possible)

Look forward to seeing more of your work!
