Synopsis "Nostalgia"

Nostalgia, la obra que consagró a Mircea Cartarescu como la voz más potente de las actuales letras rumanas, constituye una auténtica revolución literaria. El volumen, de una calidad prodigiosa, se abre con "El Ruletista", que narra la improbable historia de un hombre al que nunca le ha sonreído la suerte, pero que, sorprendentemente, hace fortuna participando en letales sesiones de ruleta rusa. En "El Mendébil", un mesías impúber de aires proustianos pierde sus poderes mágicos con el advenimiento de su propia sexualidad, y se ve perseguido por una legión de jóvenes acólitos. En "Los gemelos", Cartarescu se entrega a la bizarra exploración de la ira juvenil, hasta desembocar en la pieza central del libro, "REM", que narra la historia de Nana, una mujer de mediana edad, enamorada de un estudiante de instituto en una Bucarest pesadillesca, enciclopédica, que se eleva a la categoría de ciudad universal.

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.
