The rat's deaths

Editura: GREEN BOOK - Green Intelligence SRL
As an author, Gheorghe Neagu seems to be a different kind of nonconformist, which did not earn him recognition among readers and the large mass of critics. Observed by Nicolae Manolescu in Literary Romania of the '80s, when claims: "I thought that the literary reportage died from Geo Bogza, and what can you see, after 25 years, here it appears in Gheorghe Neagu’s writings..." The author sets his areas of concern in the apparently normal world, ruled by fantasies and situations typical to Mircea Eliade, but treated in a completely personal manner. Now at his fourth book, the author can afford to laugh at the idea that there was no drawer literature. Most stories in this volume were in waiting at Albatros, Junimea and Romanian Book publishing houses. - Mircea HERIVAN
