Synopsis "Lulu (in Spanish)"

Mircea Ca(rta(rescu, eterno candidato a ser el primer premio Nobel en lengua rumana, está considerado uno de los grandes narradores europeos de la actualidad. En Lulu (1994, Premio de la Unión de Escritores Rumanos, Premio ASPRO), Cartarescu despliega su versión de la figura del artista adolescente en la persona de Victor, un escritor asocial y torturado que parece sacado de una obra de Proust, y que vive obsesionado por Lulu, uno de sus compañeros de liceo que, disfrazado de mujer y aprovechando la fiesta de clausura de un campamento de verano en 1973, lo fuerza a un contacto sexual. Recluido en una villa de los Cárpatos, y ya convertido en un escritor de éxito, Victor intenta exorcizar a través de la escritura a los monstruos que devoran su alma. El juego del doble ?encarnado en Victor, el escritor enfrentado a su «hermana gemela», la niña amputada?, de larga tradición en la literatura moderna, alcanza en Lulu una dimensión que hace de esta novela una auténtica obra maestra. "Digámoslo desde el principio para que nadie se confunda: Lulu es una experiencia límite." Carlos Pardo "Mircea Ca(rta(rescu es de todo menos lacónico. Es tremendamente poliédrico, sorprendente, barroco, poético." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Mircea Cartarescu was born on June 1, 1956 in Bucharest, Romania into a middle-class family. From an early age, he showed a strong interest in literature and music, influenced by the counterculture of the 60s and 70s. He pursued his studies at the University of Bucharest, in the faculty of letters where he earned a PhD with a fascinating thesis on Romanian postmodernism. He has been a university professor, editor, and contributor to literary magazines, as well as an active member of the Romanian PEN Club and the European Cultural Parliament.

He began his literary career as a poet in 1978 and published his first book, Faurir, vitrin, fotografii (1980), which earned him the Romanian Writers' Union Award. His work is characterized by lyrical, dreamlike, and experimental prose, in which the boundary between reality and dream blurs. He has explored themes such as memory, identity, recent Romanian history, and the transformative power of literature.

He was awarded the prestigious Formentor Prize for Literature, and has received awards of the importance of the Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding, the Gregor von Rezzori Prize, the Thomas Mann Prize, the Austrian State Prize for European Literature, and the FIL Prize for Literature in Romance Languages. His texts have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
