Description
"My book is about Ferentari, a neighborhood whose residents believe is the cradle of bravado. It is also about love — selfish? selfless? — between a writer who landed in the poorest neighborhood of Bucharest and an ex-convict who learned to love men because, at his first sentencing, he was only fifteen years old, and sex is the easiest way to ensure protection.
It’s about how to manage life on the outside when you were born into a proud mafia family, but in prison, you became 'soft' over fourteen years. These are all themes you will read about in the book; otherwise, I also like to think it’s about loyalty and betrayal." (Adrian Schiop)
The book won an award from the prestigious magazine Observator cultural and in 2014 was recognized as the "Best Book of the Year." It has been translated into Polish, German, and English. In 2017, it was also adapted into a film, for which Adrian Schiop co-wrote the script and played himself.
