I am an English language novelist (Diffidence, Spuyten Duyvil, 2004) and essayist now living in Bucharest, Romania, where I published another novel, Zona Umbrei (Libra, 1998) in Romanian. I have translated Romanian fairy tales, fiction and poetry. Poets include Cezar Ivanescu, Dinu Flamand, Max Blecher, Otilia Nicolescu, Carmen Firan, Adrian Sangeorzan. I am a Ph.D.-- Rutgers University, 1983 (British and American Literature), who has published both fiction, literary criticism, and psychoanalytic studies including The Roots of Artifice: A Study in Literary Creativity with Jay Harris (Human Sciences Press: New York) and The One-Eyed Doctor: Psycholgical Origins of Freud's works with Jay Harris (Jason Aaronson, New York, 1984). I am now living in Bucharest Romania, reading widely and writing essays and fiction."
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Currently working on: I am currently negotiating the translation of a Romanian novel into English for a U.S. publisher. I am also translating the fairytales of Petre Ispirescu. The current Romanian reality is that all kinds of formerly banned and out-of-print writers are being brought back into circulation. This offers wide opportunities for translation into English and other languages.
