Transylvania’s history in 100-word stories: An interview with the Romanian-born author

Romania's Transylvania has sparked the curiosity and interest of people worldwide, be it writers, film directors, historians, or travellers. Patricia Furstenberg, a Romanian-born author living in South Africa, has decided to tell Transylvania's History from A to Z in a rather different way: a fascinating collection of short stories of exactly 100 words each.

Patricia Furstenberg grew up in Bucharest and discovered parts of Transylvania during her many travels there, made both as a child and later on in life. "I spent my childhood being chased by guinea fowls in Argeș, and my teen summers on the Mureș banks of Arad," she told Romania-insider.com.
