The Phantom Church and Other Stories from Romania<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em>, edited by <\/strong>Georgiana Farnoaga (University of Pittsburgh Press, 1997).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n“The escape into the realm of fantasy revived an old literary genre, the fantastic tale, favored by a Romanian literature rooted in the magic and myth of folklore. In the superreality it created, political satire, protest, and criticism at times could manage to pass the inspection of the booted censorship, a triumph which would refuel survival. But apart from its political role, the fantastic tale, superbly credible in its “caressed details” (as Nabokov would say), generated a strange and original poetry, a glorious antidote for the social realism and proletcultism of forced daily consumption, a poetry that has remained rich and enchanting, even when read out of its political context.”- Marguerite Dorian, World Literature Today<\/em>, Winter 1998<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Worlds and Beings: Contemporary Romanian Science Fiction Stories<\/em><\/span><\/a>, edited by Horia G\u00e2rbea, translated by Magda Groza, Mihaela Mudure, Alexandru Solomon and Samuel Onn (Romanian Cultural Institute Publishing Press, 2015).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “A Dash of Kindness” by Diana Alzner<\/span> “through genetic manipulation, the human race has been limited in brain performance and is monitored by electronic surveillance of intelligence. The hero, a savior named ‘the Engineer,’ having discovered a solution to the problem of entropy, begins to revolt against this system but ends by obeying the rules of a society living in an illusory totalitarian happiness.”- Kleiner<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “El Dorado” by Liviu Radu<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
