A video interview with Doina Ruști on Istodor’s podcast for HotNews is always nonconformist.
Read a sample here:
Reading books, having parents who explain things to you, being tolerant.
Doina Ruști: Yes, tolerance is a perfect formula for survival — having the ability to restrain yourself. To be tolerant means to have “a little bit of patience,” as Trahanache puts it in A Lost Letter by Caragiale.
The anti-nonsense vaccine? Doina Ruști’s fictions
“I don’t watch TV anymore; I don’t like socially engaged social prose — in fact, that’s the easiest path to success, and it’s a path I dislike. You revolt, you pretend to revolt, and you end up in the literary spotlight. I believe that a story means love with all its upheavals. I don’t start writing unless I fall in love, and then I don’t care whether X is president or what happened in parliament. A story lives beyond social limits. It escapes this world and dreams of eternity, of a world that endures.”
