Aventurile detectivului Rafistol si a doctorului Baipas
Translated title: The Adventures of Detective Rafistol and Doctor Baipas
Series: Volume 2
Author: Surubaru, Mihai
Genre: Crime / Humorous Fiction
Year: 2025 | Pages: 144 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91502
In volume II of the series 'The Adventures of Detective Rafistol and Doctor Baibas', Mihai Surubaru orchestrates with a sure hand a spectacle of ironic absurdity, functional grotesque and a world in which logic is reversed: authority becomes farce, and the tragic is dissected with the scalpel of sarcasm. What transforms this volume into a valuable literary object is not only the author's narrative ability or the ingenious composition of the detective episodes, but the way in which the author manipulates humor. Mihai Surubaru does not offer solutions or judge, but only points the finger at the deep wounds of a world deformed by stupidity, ignorance and fear. The laughter he provokes is not gratuitous, but profound - a laughter in which, in the end, he forces us to ask ourselves: who are we in this tragic comedy called life?
Sub gravitatia memoriei
Translated title: Under the Gravity of Memory
Author: Lungu, Dan
Genre: Historical / Short Stories
Year: 2025 | Pages: 232 | Origin: ROM | BA Seq Num: 91461
Under the Gravity of Memory is first and foremost a book with countless stories. Some span centuries, others years, days or minutes, but all are fascinating. Stories full of meaning, which compress worlds and times, people and histories, places and mentalities, which distill collective experiences in a new, surprising way. They create vertigos of memory and short-circuit times.
The author's pleasure in storytelling emanates from every sentence of the book. For him, the world seems to be made just to be told, it is its only reason for existing. If it were not told, it would not exist. The narrative lines of his texts bring together everything they encounter: from historical or family events to personal testimonies, from archive details to direct observations or those of contemporaries, from literary evocations to press excerpts. The texts in the volume are a hybrid of autobiographical prose, reportage, literary history, cultural studies and essay, in a relaxed and often playful tone, in which the scrupulousness of analysis or observation gives way to meditation, humor and poetry.
Among other things, we learn how the Sugar Factory in Ripiceni financially supported the literary avant-garde in the interwar period, that the outlaw Coroi was connected to legionnaires, about the avant-garde wedding in Iasi of Marcu Taingiu and what became of Moldov, the co-founder, along with Sasa Pana, of the magazine UNU, about the 'indestructible toy' factory 'Teddy' in Botosani, about how Scarlat Callimachi earned the nickname 'the red prince', how Dumitru Cornilescu ended up translating the Bible in the mansion in Stancesti and much more

A magnetic, lucid and irresistible prose, in which a doctoral thesis gradually takes on the shape of an interior novel, and Salinger is just the ideal pretext to talk about loneliness, fascination and the deep need to be listened to. At the seminar led by a reserved and ironic doctoral student, the lectures become mirrors, and the students' comments - confessions.
In Salinger and the Girl with the Red Hair, Andrei Mocuta manages the rare feat of transforming room 420, with its dusty air and gentle fluorescence, into a living, tense, often tender space, where the professor's voice oscillates between erudition and vulnerability.
Surrounded by lyrical interventions, eccentric observations and silences with subtext, he discreetly keeps his attention, while literature opens bridges between generations, between solitudes, but especially between words and feelings. And the girl with the red hair and ethereal gestures spreads a gentle mystery, enough to keep you captivated until the last page

It is a kind of oriental chess game, played by several partners, some daring, some intelligent, some downright wise, in which draws occur as the case may be, glorifying now one, now another of those engaged in the confrontation. This agonal aspect remains in its essence playful, but the game is serious and excites the reader who dares to follow the writer.
Regardless of the result, in the end it turns out that the victory belongs to the triumphant discourse, and to the author behind it, and to the reader who followed him among the volutes, under and over the clouds, in the ballet of ideas and intuitions that they translate
