Da dirigă de băut

Mihai Buzea’s stories look at the drive to succeed. They deal with failure and the wish for fame. Some follow failed writers or generals who start to write. Others follow people who think too much of themselves. Plans and luck shape their success, often with absurd results. Buzea shows how writers gain status, then lose it.

These short stories use satire to show how people live. They blend this sharp humor with quiet sadness. They deal with leaving one’s country and being poor. Other themes include grief, broken families, and lost youth. People also long for the past. The sharp wit shows how hopes and real life clash. The book forms part of the Pantazi series.
