Bulgarian Truck

"A Romanian writer chronicles the writing of a novel about a truck driver. This slim, deeply surreal novel by the exiled Romanian writer Tsepeneag is quite deft in its execution....An imaginative work of oneiric fiction by a master practitioner..." ~Kirkus Reviews

"All in all, it's a fine and often provocative entertainment." ~Complete Review

"There are abundant tricks, semi-plots, tonal shifts, clues, references to age and, as expected, generous echoes of Tsepeneag’s previous work, all brilliantly translated by the Romanian-based Briton Alistair Ian Blyth, who conveys the humour and light-heartedly serious intent and, above all, the bold authorial confidence. (...) As a feat of literary choreography, The Bulgarian Truck will entertain on several levels. Aside from the technical ease, there is the humour. It is very funny and visual (.....) Yet, miles of pleasure aside, this is no simplistic comedy. It is an exciting masterclass in the art of juggling story in tandem with characters, impulse, subtle pathos and literary theory." - Eileen Battersby ~Irish Times
