Critics about

“Among the writers who have recently made a name for themselves, the most ‘exportable’ seems to be, at this moment, Filip Florian. And rightly so : the leisurely and elaborate style of the writings of this discreet and tenacious professional seems to have found its optimal formula under a lucky star.”

(Paul CERNAT)

“The beauty resides in the phrasing of the stories – a good humoured aestheticism permanently controlled by raw irony and fine parody. A revelation !”

(Radu COSAŞU)

“Filip Florian changes the direction of the ‘flow’ of the new wave of prose writers launched in the ‘Ego. Prose’ collection, and places literature in a new orbit : one of artistic writing, far from auto-fictional intoxication, a crafted writing whose stakes are higher than authenticity and expressivity born from exploration of territories that had remained in the shadows due to historical reasons (sex, drugs, violence – things identifiable, certainly, with the monstrous face of capitalism).”

(Florina PÎRJOL)

“Filip Florian has probably the most effective dose of fictional imagination and cultural density of all those who have made their debut since 1989.”

(Tania RADU)
