‘Ears’ is a memoir, a personal journey of a Transylvanian Hungarian ethnic child of Ceausescu’s dark 1970s, a teenager during the suffocating Romanian1980s, a student during the surreal 1990s and an emigrant of recent years.

The journey starts in a world that Kafka imagined, but Ceausescu created. It combines the recollections of a child’s personal experiences with the subtle humour of the reminiscing adult. It is not just a memoir of years spent during an infamous totalitarian regime – it is also a sensitive and deeply observant description of the many unexpectedly dark changes that came after the optimism that followed the Romanian Revolution of 1989.

‘Ears’ is available to purchase on Amazon.co.uk or Waterstones.com.
