Nostalgia: Short Stories

Mircea Cartarescu
Mark DevisMark Devis

“Nostalgia” by Mircea Cărtărescu is a novel that I think about more since I finished reading it 18 months ago than when I was actually reading it. The more I consider it, the more I have to admit that, bad translation to one side, Cărtărescu is a postmodern genius. #postmodernism

Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of Being Earnest” still holds up to this day. Over a century on, it still makes an auditorium teeming with viewers laugh out loud. It only all jokes aged so well?

@CarolynKWrites “Money” by Martin Amis. It’s incredibly clever, with a strong narrative voice and a lot of excess. It was recommended on my creative writing course, and I’m having a blast with it!
