Granițe și spații imaginare în proza scurtă a lui Cătălin Dorian Florescu
Borders and Imaginary Spaces in Cătălin Dorian Florescu’s Short Stories

Summary/Abstract: In his only short fiction volume, The Navel of the World, the Romanian-born Swiss writer Cătălin Dorian Florescu revisits some of his predilect themes, recurring at large in his previous novels – fractured identity, fluid borders, the search for a homeland, emigration and migration, The nine stories of the volume could be read as attempts to define, in a new dialect, that of short prose, the meaning, in today’s context, of the travels and migration of those in search of a home.I intend to explore the significance of these journeys by investigating the way in which Florescu redefines them in the new context of his œuvre.
