Tsepeneag, for all his apparent random cunning, is exact; nothing is left to chance, not even the most minor detail. ~The Irish Times

While most authors are interested in story, Romanian author Dumitru Tsepeneag is drawn to structure: how to create, and dismantle, literary form… Diving into his latest work is like reading someone else’s dream: it’s a completely entrancing, moving balance between whimsy and reality. ~The Gazette

With his metaphors and traps, Dumitru Tsepeneag reminds me of a magician who pulls flowers, animals, and strange objects out of his hat. He lays comical stories over a poignant, and often grim, background. ~Journal de Génève
