Thank you! Now I will have to read this book!
Hope you find it as impactful and meaningful as I do!
Yay! I bought Solenoid because you recommended it and wow… it is amazing . A very moving speech by Cartarescu.
That’s great to hear!
Agree - beautiful speech. Reference to Dublin existing in the mental space of writers is so true.
Because of you I bought this book and I am obsessed with it! Thank you for your recommendation! Highly recommend Solenoid to everyone
Well, now I have to read it😂😂 It's on all the bookstores in Bucharest, always thinking that Eric likes this book, so I'll have to buy it sometime, I guess now is the time😅 . Congratulations/ Felicitari to Mircea Cartarescu 🎉
😊 Hope you find it as meaningful as I did.
I already knew I wanted to read Solenoid, but after his speech I HAVE TO and soon. I also absolutely want to read Praiseworthy! It sounds so grand and beautiful. And that cover is intriguing.
Such a great speech - I hope you find it as impactful as I did!
That was fun. What a moving speech from Cartarescu.
What a lovely speech! I'm off to buy his book... Thanks, Eric, for highlighting it!
This makes me so happy! I'm obsessed with Solenoid and want to read everything Cartarescu writes! More people should be checking out this book and I totally agree with your comment about the International Booker Prize Eric.
Thank you! We are so proud of our Romanian writer, Mircea Cartarescu!
🎉
I ordered the book while watching this video, so thank you! What beautiful speeches from both author and translator.
Yes! Hope you enjoy it!
Love your enthusiasm. I appreciated the presenter's care with pronounciation of the Romanian names. What amazing speeches from both Cartarescu and Cotter. I guess I should finally read it. :-)
Really has to be one of the best acceptance speeches. I think based on what he said I will have to try this book.
I’m happy for Solenoid, it was published by Deep Vellum which is US based, if that makes a difference for the international Booker. Also can’t recommend Sleeping Car Porter enough. So many good books so little time
A fantastic and richly deserved prize for Mircea Cartarescu and Sean Cotter, who are truly one of the most eloquent matches of author and translator that we have now. This was a genius move on your part,Eric, to pick up this Dublin Lit Prize livestream so we can share in your reaction to one of the loveliest acceptance speeches in recent years. Just magnificent.
Praiseworthy was a tough read but so rewarding and enjoyable. Must get a copy of Solenoid.
Thank you again for a great video for a great award from my local award in Dublin, especially after just finishing again Dubliners one of my favorite short stories collections
Dubliners is such a masterful collection!
Loved this! Thank you Eric, can’t wait to read this novel
Definitely a challenging but impactful read!
Thanks for the video! The novel sounds so interesting, gonna give it a read.
Great recommendation, bought the book today thank you
Great, hope you find it impactful!
Thanks for this Eric! I live in Ireland and didn’t know this was being announced today.
Glad I could tip you off about it!
Thanks for this, Eric! I will place a hold for it at my library!
Great! Hope you find it as wondrous as reading experience as I did.
I wonder if Praiseworthy will make it to the Booker prize this year - it’s uk publication was November I think
Yeah I think it’ll be eligible
🥂📕
I started Solenoid recently after hearing you rave about it. It’s so interesting and deep. It’ll take me absolute ages but it’s highly worth it! Thanks as always for the wonderful recommendations! 🤍
That’s so good to hear! Definitely take your time with it - it’s worth it!
