I have gathered you here in front of the apartment building to share a joy with you. I mean, yesterday I received a package and in the package was another little package containing three books. Identical. This triptych book is a prose anthology in which Bifrost Publishing's editor printed my first 27 texts from this group in my career as a slate writer. Basically, the pathology of the Dometians was inserted into a debut literary
Anthology. For which I thank you. Come on, homeward bound, the meter's running.
(Translated by Anca Maria Florea / 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 July 2022, the group has 8,750 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)
