A reflection on Romanians and reading that places the issue in a historical and social context
Alexandru Ionașcu
My name is Alexandru Ionașcu, I was born and raised in Craiova where I still live, I am a PhD graduate of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Craiova. I read all day long or watch movies, the more obscure the better, the same goes for anime, I am working on a projected play about Stefan Agopian. Let's see, what else, ah, yes, I'm a fan of Marie de France (I know, you don't know her, but space doesn't allow me to say more than that she was a poet from medieval England) and I'm trying to learn two languages that have nothing to do with each other. That's about it.
