Although I'm an insecure guy who thinks lowly of his human or professional abilities, having my works published for the first time seemed to me to be completely normal. 'Cause my value could not be contested, I am a quick-witted artist, that speaks the right words and whose interior conflicts are worth of Japanese films. It's just that these guys keep erring in their judgement. They give me the Pulitzer, the Nobel, I'm not even gonna mention the Academy, because I can't stomach those parasites and they are the ones hindering my publishing process. The morning after. Obituray.
(Translated by Lucia-Alexandra Brînaru-Mitrofan / University of Bucharest, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, MTTLC, year I / Corrected by Silvia Petrescu, coordinator of the translations)Real Fiction is a collective project started in 2013 by Florin Piersic Jr. The concept of Real Fiction continued to exist as a Facebook group, after a volume of stories was published at Humanitas Publishing House. (In June 2022, the group has 8,500 members.) The authors write ultra-short stories, with the texts limited to 500 characters (in Romanian, so the length of the English translation might be a little different) - a flash-fiction exercise on a topic that changes every few days. The group's coordinators are Florin Piersic Jr., Gabriel Molnar, Răzvan Penescu, and Luchian Abel. (Drawing by Adrian T. Roman)
