Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.

Scavi

Grondwerk [Scavi] (2025) esplora il cambiamento climatico e l’azione collettiva, tentando di rendere il mondo abitabile attraverso un linguaggio poetico e sensoriale. Nel romanzo, una talpa senza pelo viene inviata in missione dalla sua colonia nel Corno d’Africa in una piazza di Bruxelles. In attesa di istruzioni che tardano ad arrivare, la talpa osserva gli strani comportamenti degli Homo sapiens e inizia a scavare gallerie nelle viscere della città. Mentre Bruxelles si apre in voragini che frammentano l’infrastruttura del cuore politico dell’Europa, l’incontro e la crescente amicizia con un attivista per il clima conducono a una svolta inaspettata. Grondwerk è stato candidato al premio letterario Boekenbon ed è stato accolto positivamente dalla stampa belga e olandese.
