Writer-in-Residence Florin Lazarescu

On the 3rd of march, 19h, at MuseumsQuartier, Raum D/quatier21, Florin Lazarescu has a reading of a short story from the book The tube with a hat, called Lili the Bear and Goliath the Whale, and a screening of a short film entitled the same.

Ten short stories that could also be considered as chapters of a novel, The Tube with a Hat recreates the vivid atmosphere of a Romanian childhood under communism. Although this is not the main issue of the book, you could find here an answer of the question \"is the happiness possible under a totalitarian state?\". The protagonists of each story - told from the perspective of a child - seem to say \"yes, it is\", or \"maybe not, but it worths trying, at least\". That\'s because for them life is a playground where it doesn\'t matter if you win or lose, but if you fight to play by your own rules. Either a game of magical realism, or a tragicomedy, their existence is a continuous and spectacular art of improvisation to survive.
The short story that gives the title of the book was filmed by the director Radu Jude, in 2006, using a screenplay written by me. The short film The Tube with a Hat has become the most awarded one in the history of Romanian cinema (more than 50 awards in festivals all over the world; between them, the one for the best short at Sundance Film Festival, USA, 2007).
