Return

About This Novel

"The Return" won the French Medici Novel Prize in 2006 and is an autobiographical novel. Due to the social environment, the protagonist fled from Romania to the United States, and returned after teaching and writing in the United States for 10 years. The book is divided into three parts: the first part is about life in the United States after running away. The second part is about the years of life before leaving, and it is also Manea's personal and family history. The third part is what I did in the 10 days after returning. This is a rough summary, but in fact this book does not have a clear clue of time and space. It always jumps between the past, present and future time, and switches between the spaces of Romania and the United States. The narrative is suddenly interrupted and repeated again and again, which is the writing characteristic of this book.
