We remind that the writer did not receive the capacity of corresponding member of the Romanian Academy although the philology section of the forum had proposed it with unanimous votes. To be admitted, he needed only one vote. Cărtărescu had to get 74 votes to have two thirds of the number of voters, but only obtained 73.
“In the last days I have been overwhelmed by the warmth and solidarity of our cultural world towards me. I want to thank here, with all the gratitude, to all those who, from the Romanian Academy, from the press and on the social networks, were this days with“, Said the writer Mircea Cărtărescu, on his Facebook page.
Even in 2023, it was not received among the Romanian Academy, not having the necessary votes.
And the Romanians sent him hundreds of support messages. “Mircea Cărtărescu – the contemporary Romanian writer with the highest national and international notoriety. The Romanian Academy must start with Mircea Cărtărescu“, Says one person, on Facebook, while another comment on that:”I can hardly wait for the day when they will vote, however, your admission to the academy and you will refuse it”.
A person advises him to overcome this moment with murder: “A writer with international recognition does not take place in the academy, and is applied all kinds of corrections, admonitions, tertipuri, only, only not to contaminate the reserve of the “immortals” on ideological points. They had the opportunity to win, to restore at least from the image deficit, but, as usual, they plunged into ridiculous. Overdue humorous the painful moment!”.
“Thank you for staying in Romania and for writing in Romanian for those who want to enter the adventure of literature!“, A person commented.
“The Romanian Academy had a great need for Cărtărescu and not the other way around”, Someone wrote as a result of the message of thanks sent by the writer.
And the poet Ana Blandiana (82 years old), a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy, had a harsh statement following the rejection of Mircea Cărtărescu’s candidacy.
“After the candidacy of Mircea Cărtărescu at the entrance to the Romanian Academy was unanimously voted by the Literature-Filology Section, a slanderous, violent and hateful call-which pleaded for the writer’s rejection and finally won the cause-a was distributed to all members of the Academy in the rest of the sections“, The poet wrote on Facebook.
