Dan Lungu in the World Republic of Letters
Dan Lungu in the World Republic of Letters

Summary/Abstract: Following in the footsteps of authors such as David Damrosch, Pascale Casanova and Franco Moretti who discuss the idea of word literature, this paper tries to present succinctly the position of Romanian literature in the world literary space according to the Grenwich literary meridian. The problem that arises is how we export and especially what we export so that we become visible and at the same time intelligible to foreigners, how we relate to the norms of the international literary community so that we are visible on the map of international literature. The general considerations on this subject will be used to capture the reception of the translations of Dan Lungu’s novels, the works considered being Chicken heaven (2004) and I’m an old commie! (2007).
