Cătălin Mihuleac
From 27 January to 24 March 2021

Born in 1960 in Iaşi, Romania, Cătălin Mihuleac worked as a geologist until the end of the Communist regime, when he started a career as a journalist, writer, and playwright. In 2009 he defended his dissertation on the topic of pamphlets. His recent works combine historical documentation and fiction, verve, humor and the tragic. His novel America de peste pogrom, published in 2014 and translated into French in 2020 as Les Oxenberg & les Bernstein (Éditions Noir sur Blanc), breaks one of the taboos of contemporary history, namely the Iaşi pogrom of 1941. It was awarded the Prix Transfuge for European novels in 2020.
