  Marin Sorescu
The third representative writer we mention is Marin Sorescu (1936-1996), who is a case in the Romanian literature.
Marin Sorescu’s work was translated in almost all the circulation languages, being the most known among the Romanian writers.
Sorescu uses the known Biblical parable here and turns it into a parable of the tragic existence of the man who lives and seeks for his liberty in a world resembling the system of the Russian dolls (Matroshka), in an infinite series.

 The Foundation
For Romanian Writing, as critics often underlined, Sorescu's existence and masterpieces have an enormous signifiance; he melts by means of an extemely original style, previous sources of spiritual evolution.
Other activities of cultural promotion are also foreseen: calls for "Marin Sorescu Prizes" addressed to aknowledged poets and playwrights as well as the organization of literary circles on poetry in which prizes for talented debutant authors will be awarded.
It would be a pleasure and a honour, both for me and the Foundation, to receive as members of it, all those people who consider themselves spiritual friends of Marin Sorescu, or who understood his genius and wish to preserve his memory.

Marin Sorescu is one of the most powerful and prolific writers in contemporary Romania, but this collection is the first to bring his work to the attention of American readers.

Marin Sorescu, the most widely translated author in Romanian literature was born on 29 February 1936, in the village of Bulzesti, Romania.
Sorescu went on scholarships to study in Germany and the United States, in a period when Romania was a closed country, confining its own citizens who were not allowed to see anything from the outside.
Sorescu talked in an interview about his relationship with literature while he himself was a High School student “When I was like you, I was either here or in Predeal, where I went to school, and my relations with literature were on friendly terms..

 three candles: Marin Sorescu
Marin Sorescu (1936-96), Romania's Nobel Prize nominee the year of his untimely death, was his country's most widely celebrated and frequently translated contemporary writer, particularly well known throughout Europe.
More than a dozen books of poetry and plays have appeared in English, mainly in the U.K. and Ireland, and Sorescu's translators include Seamus Heaney, W. Snodgrass, Michael Hamburger, Ted Hughes, and Paul Muldoon.
His valedictory volume, The Bridge, published posthumously in 1997, was composed during the final two months of his life, while he knew he was dying of liver cancer, with Sorescu often dictating the poems to his wife, Virginia, because he was too weak to write them down himself.

 The Biggest Egg in the World
Hatched in Belfast by a clutch of poets, egged on by the Romanian poet, eight writers well up the poetry pecking order cooked up this book in tribute to the Romanian master chef.
These are not hard-boiled translations but lightly scrambled versions, and if some seem flavored with Heaney, Hughes, or Constantine, that's quite in keeping with the anarchic free-ranging spirit of Sorescu's comic genius.
"Sorescu is already being tipped as a future Nobel prizewinner.

 The Blue Moon Review - Poetry - Marin Sorescu trans. Adam Sorkin & Lidia Vianu   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Marin Sorescu, a prominent poet and playwright, was Romania's Nobel Prize nominee in 1996, the year of his untimely death at the age of 60.
Sorescu's works, serious and wide-ranging in idea, are frequently comic, deceptively light, witty and sometimes absurd, often deadpan in their delivery--a combination not surprising from a writer from the nation which gave birth to Dadaist Tristan Tzara and absurdist Eugene Ionesco.

 The Jackdaw's Nest: December 2005
Marin Sorescu (1936 - 1996) was a Romanian poet and playwright whose poetry is characterized by a degree of whimsy that gives rise to gentle but perceptive irony, as in "Precautions":
In the following poem, Sorescu contrasts the actors who understand so well how to bring their characters and their characters' passions to genuine life with the audience, the "we," who don't know "how to come alive":
His poems are most often firmly rooted in the ordinary, the everyday, but this becomes a lens which allows Sorescu and his reader to see more deeply beyond the initial surface into metaphysical depths:

The Bridge is Sorescu's farewell to life, a book of wryly quizzical poems composed from his sickbed over five weeks as he waited for death to take him, his testament not just to human mortality and pain but also to resistance and creative transformation.
The Bridge is unlike any other book of poetry: like a medieval dance of death but sombre in movement, a procession of breathlessly spoken, painfully comic poems.
