Let the Robot Write! / Lăsați robotul să scrie!
I completely forgot I've been sitting on the translation of my award-winning short story Lăsați robotul să scrie! (Let the Robot Write!) for a few years now and I thought I might as well publish it now. It's a speculative story about a robot that writes fiction and is heavily based on my experience in the English publishing world. You can read it on my website in English: https://www.andradacoos.c

| Sanshiro is in a way a coming-of-age story, although I wouldn’t say Sanshiro really changes a great deal by the end of the book nor does his future take on a definitive - final - direction as it would in a European novel dealing with similar themes. ...more | |

| I’m someone who has a moderate view of humankind overall. I don’t believe we are inherently evil or selfish as, if these were the values by which humankind lived by, I feel we would have destroyed ourselves long ago in ages where such behavior was fa ...more | |

| Turgenev is one of the Russian writers I have never read before and thought I should perhaps give him a try. Fathers and Sons explores the relationship between generations at a turning point in Russian society in the 1850s before the emancipation of ...more | |

| Whenever I read the autobiographical writings of 20th century authors, I often feel envious that they could so easily make a living out of writing. Nowadays, the value of writing has diminished so much it’s exceedingly rare to find a writer who can a ...more | |

| Funeral Games felt like the extended epilogue of Mary Renault’s Alexander trilogy. It was considerably more fragmentary than the first two books, lacked the magnetic central figure of Alexander to bring the entire story together and felt more brutal ...more | |

| Ah, it took me ages to finish this collection of Emily Dickinson’s poetry. I usually avoid collected poems editions because I feel like poetry is much more palatable in smaller volumes, but in the case of Emily Dickinson, since she never published an ...more | |

| I got this book from a museum shop in Paris after visiting an exhibition. It’s an interesting, but rather flawed look at the history of female artists. It felt very Western-centric, with only a handful of non-Western European/American artists mention ...more | |
“E wabi‑sabi, frumusețea lucrurilor trecătoare, a spus Sensei. Florile de cireș sunt frumoase, dar în același timp sunt trecătoare. Suntem fericiți că le vedem, dar în același timp e o fericire puțin
tristă pentru că suntem conștienți că ele vor dispărea în curând.”

“ma gia volgena il mio disio e'l velle
si come rota ch'igualmente e mossa,
l'amor che move: i sole e l'altre stelle
...as a wheel turns smoothtly, free from jars, my will and my desire were turned by love, The love that moves the sun and the other stars.”

“If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumbered here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.”
