The Quilted Overalls

Because all bad things must end.

This translation is long overdue. The text was published originally on my Romanian blog and republished in the literary magazine of Sălaj County, through my dear father’s care. I realize now that my incurable hope springs from being old enough to see authoritarian regimes end. I am aware I might be biased. The world has changed immensely since then, and continues to do so at an increasingly rapid pace, hence my effort to preserve memories, good or bad, from a more “linear” time.
