CĂTĂLIN DORIAN FLORESCU AND THE JOY BROUGHT BY HIS STORIES

Summary/Abstract: Cătălin Dorian Florescu, the author of the novel ”The Man Who Brings Happiness”, presents the search for identity and, through this, brings together the two main characters, who are so far apart from each other in terms of structure and biography. In Florescu’s novel, the two characters find their roots because of the very reason of having this past revealed to them. Elena tells the story of her mother, who was born in 1920 in the Danube Delta of Romania. Ray tells the story of his grandfather, who had spent his entire life from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century in New York. Their stories are about fight and dreams, about life and death, and about finding one’s origin and identity, motifs that we can find in his previous books, such as “Jacob Decides to Love” and „Zaira”.
