About the Author
Marin Sorescu (1936-96) was a cheerfully melarnic comic genius, and one of the most orginal voices in Romanian literature. His mischievous poetry and satirical plays earned him great popularity during the Communist era of the regime, Romanians used to a culture of double speak could read other meanings in his playful mockery of the human condition. But later- like hapless character from one of his absurdist dramas- the peasent-born people's poet was made Mister of culture.
