Lucian Dan Teodorovici Biography

Lucian Dan Teodorovici is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 17, 1975 in Rădăuți, Suceava, Romania. Lucian Dan Teodorovici was a Romanian writer and translator who was born in Radauti in the Suceava County in 1975. He is currently the manager of the National Museum of Romanian Literature Iasi and Manager of the Iasi International Festival of Literature and Translation. He is also the senior editor for Suplimentul de cultura.

After Polirom’s novel Our Circus Presents… (Circulului nostru va prezinta), received critical acclaim in 2002. The novel was translated into English and Spanish as well as Italian, Hungarian, Spanish, Hungarian, and Bulgarian. A man aged thirty lives in a small flat on the fifth floor. The protagonist does a sort of ritual every Sunday: he climbs on to the window ledge to wait for a suicidal urge. It never comes. Over three days, the novel’s events unfold. The young man heads to the railway station of the town in search for prostitutes on the first day. He meets another young man on the way who is known as the “bloke without the orange braces”, and has hanged from an old steam engine in an abandoned siding. He saves him, and takes him to the station-hospital. From there, the bloke wearing the orange braces can walk on his own. Later, the main character will find the man he saved at a railway workers’ pub. The orange braced bloke, who smashed a chair against the head of one prostitute in the bar, causes him to get into a fight, which leaves him in a pool full of blood. The protagonist rescues the orange braced bloke from the fury of bar drinkers and takes him back home to his flat. The story’s atmosphere is created here: an abandoned world with strange neighbours, a building superintendent and an elderly woman who longs for a relationship. The novel’s second day covers the discovery that the young protagonist is part of a club for professional suicides – people who seek death. One wants to die by sleeping with women of good character in order to contract a fatal illness; another wants suicide by drinking large amounts of whiskey until he falls into an alcohol coma. The “suicide artists” are all the same, and the young man of 30 would like to introduce himself to this group. Parallel to this, they attempt to determine if the prostitute at the bar survived being struck over the head with chairs. The novel’s conclusion will reveal the answer. The story’s final chapter concludes with the protagonist discovering that the prostitute had died during another visit to the railway station. This is not something he tells his friend. He is also scared by the twist in events and comes up with an idea. He convinces the man with orange braces to take him to the station, the train that he first saw. He proposes to them both that they commit suicide. He tells his friend that this will make the railway workers understand that they both regret their encounter with the prostitute and that they will be forgiven. The protagonist is actually trying to escape from the noose, and chase away any attempts to save him. This will allow him to die, and thus avoid any legal consequences for his association with the prostitute’s killer. However, the plan is a failure for several reasons. The protagonist tells his friend the truth about the prostitute, and what he’s been planning. The book’s general theme, which states that anyone who has failed in any other aspect of life cannot be consistent or fail at his own death, ends with a roaring laughter.

The next book of LDT, a novel entitled The Other Love Stories (Celelalte poveşti de dragoste), was published by Polirom in 2009, and it was translated into: Italian, French, Polish and Bulgarian. The Other Love Stories might be regarded as a modular novel. Its eleven sequences can function both as self- contained prose pieces and as episodes in a single narrative, whose central theme is failed love. This failure can unfold at a number of levels, with each “story” bringing with it an additional nuance, an additional idea to give shape to the whole. In the book, two central characters pass from one sequence to the next, namely the character of the narrator, who is a journalist for a local newspaper, and his wife. Their story takes shape not only by means of narratives from various periods in the narrator’s life (childhood, adolescence, the present), but also in the tales of secondary characters, in which the narrator is involved in one way or another. One after the other and in surprising ways, all these sequences provide various angles from which love can be viewed, while failure, an idea that insinuates itself at the close of the volume, demands that each separate story and each choice made at one time or another by the central character should be re-evaluated. One of the sequences of the book, entitled Goose Chase, was published in the acclaimed American anthology Best European Fiction – 2011, ed. by Aleksandar Hemon, Dalkey Archive Press.

A resounding success with public and critics alike, his latest novel, Matei the Brown (Matei Brunul), Iaşi: Polirom, 2011, was awarded numerous prizes and has been translated into French, at Gaïa Éditions, and it was very well received by the press. The novel has been translated also into Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish, and is due to be translated into English and to be published by (Dalkey Archive Press). Matei The Brown is set in the period between 1945 and 1959. The novel’s protagonist, Bruno Matei, a Romanian puppeteer of Italian ancestry, is presented from two different perspectives, on two narrative levels. In the first, which unfolds in Iași, over the course of the year 1959, he is suffering from partial amnesia following an accident, and is a free man, albeit constantly shadowed by Bojin, the secret policeman assigned to him. A relationship develops between him and the secret policeman, and a series of ‘mysteries’ regarding Bruno Matei’s past life are placed in circulation. As a diversion, the Securitate invents dramatic events in the main character’s past, events which obviously never took place, but whose sole purpose is to remould his present, to make him docile and obedient to the new totalitarian order. The second narrative, equal in length to the first, focuses on Bruno Matei’s real past, spent in four communist prisons: the Uranus Penitentiary in Bucharest, the Valea Neagră Peninsula Penal Colony, Galaţi Penitentiary, and Iași Penitentiary. The two narratives unfold in parallel, so that the Securitate’s diversionary actions are one by one exploded by the often disarmingly innocent story of a man crushed beneath the juggernaut of the social and political changes that swept Eastern Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. Matei the Brown is the first purely fictional work to explore the communist prison system in Romanian literature. The blurb for the back cover of the English edition of the novel (in print) is written by the acclaimed writer and literary critic David Lodge. He wrote: “So many excellent novels have been written about life under communism in Soviet Russia and the countries of Eastern Europe that it difficult for any writer today to find an original way to depict the oppressiveness, inhumanity, and institutionalised injustice of those regimes before they began to collapse in

1989. But Lucian Dan Teodorovici has succeeded in «Matei Brunul». […] It is a remarkable achievement by a writer who was born in 1975 and had no personal experience of the era it describes, bearing comparison with classics of the genre such as Milan Kundera’s «The Joke». Such books are salutary reminders to British readers of how lucky we are never to have lived in a totalitarian state”.

LDT also published 96-00, a second collection of short stories in 2002. Short Stories (96-01). Povestiri, at LiterNet, an internet publishing house in Bucharest.
