His Kaspar Hauser (nicknamed “Bobitza” – ‘berry’) confronts a difficult childhood and adolescence in the periphery of Bucharest, among a broken family, a group of violent companions, young, brutal outsiders and his own confused solitude. Author of excellent books of poetry, prose and criticism he represents the best of the new post-communist spiritual climate in today’s Eastern Europe. ‘Bogdan Stanescu is one of the most talented writers of the new literary generation in his country. ’This is the novel of a sacrificed generation, that of the transition from communism to democracy, and is also one of the first novels dedicated to Bucharest after the Revolution.’ Observatorul cultural ‘The Childhood of Kaspar Hauser is the place where the Bret Easton Ellis of Lunar Park miraculously meets Nabokov.’ România literara
