Summary/Abstract: It is a rather regrettable fact that Romanian literature produced beyond the borders of Romania remains relatively unknown, unless it is supported and promoted by steady marketing efforts. This holds true for literature written by Israeli authors of Romanian origin who, despite their long presence in the so new and so old country of Israel, have chosen to write and publish in Romanian. Virgil Duda is probably the most prominent among the living authors of literature in Romanian, produced in Israel. This article aims to retrace his ars poetica, his portrait of a mature artist who has written himself, a la Flaubert, in the many writer-characters that he has created.
