I have just read a brilliant novel by Eliade which is translated in Japanese. I want more, but very few Romanian works are seen in Japan. I want to know more Romanian literary. Would anyone let me know your favorite Romanian writer? I will try to read it if it has English-translated version.

Eminescu

I love Camil Petrescu and Andrei Pleșu.

I also like Ioan Luca Caragiale's plays, but the humour might have been lost in translation. Nevertheless, his writings are translated into English.

I've only read his poems in school and didn't like them, but I've recently entered a Spanish library and the owner was crazy about Mircea Cărtărescu.

By the way, you might find more of Eliade's writings, as he also lived in the US.

PS: I've found a list of Romanian books translated into English and I've thought you might find it useful. It's been uploaded by the Romanian Cultural Institut in London, and you can find it at: www.icr-london.co.uk/files/uploads/Lista_traduc...

@imhirono I am glad I could be of help. At the same time, it's one of the few things I can do for my country. 😉
