Mircea Cărtărescu in conversation with Boyd Tonkin

As children, both Cărtărescu and Tonkin were avid readers at their local libraries and would have certainly started a friendship in a universe governed by a more merciful geography.

The author of “100 Best Novels in Translation” and former chair of the Man Booker International Prize meets the internationally acclaimed Romanian writer to talk about Nostalgia, the cosmopolitan tradition of the novel and all the important things boys who love books can think about.

Part of a series of events celebrating the release of Mircea Cărtărescu’s "Nostalgia" in the universally admired Penguin Modern Classics series.
Organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute in London in partnership with Penguin Books.
