Matei Viniec Books

Matei Vișniec discovered literature as a space dedicated to freedom, drawing inspiration from Kafka, Dostoevsky, and the Surrealists. His work stands in stark contrast to Socialist Realism, offering a bold critique of totalitarian ideologies. Vișniec believes in the power of theatre and poetry to expose manipulation through "great ideas" and ideological brainwashing. Having emigrated to France, he has become an acclaimed author whose plays are staged internationally, characterized by a clear, bitter, and lucid style.
