While many believed his writing couldn’t get better, Travesti came out, his most underappreciated book underappreciated because from that little novel was born, in fact, the great trilogy, Orbitor / Blinding.

That book, one of the few indeed cult books in our literature (ten editions in three decades), cleared the way for Cărtărescu’s prose which was just scratching the surface with the publication of the story, Păianjeni de pămînt in the collective volume, Desant ’83. With its novellas which, in their time, didn’t resemble anything ever written in Romania, Nostalgia marked a major transformation/transition in his literature. Levantul, the epic of our entire literature, a masterpiece of imaginative and poetic language, appeared to be the finale of a series of poetry books which had already made Cărtărescu the most important poet of cheap nfl jerseys the decade in the ‘80s. Looking back, many of Mircea Cărtărescu’s books seemed, in their time, to be “the ultimate work,” the crowning achievement. From his debut with the volume of poetry, Faruri, vitrine, fotografii in 1980, regardless of the age, stage and the time he traveled, this writer, for whom literature is his only religion, has relentlessly written books of poetry, prose and essays, always giving everything he has, pushing the limits of literature a little further to bring the readers an unending, unpredictable adventure, full of surprises and unique rewards. Rarely has a writer written with such dedication, perseverance and passion as Mircea Cărtărescu, who has been diverted from his literary path by nothing.
