Mira Feticu

The author of Liefdesverklaring aan de Nederlandse taal (Love declaration to the Dutch language), Mira Feticu spent 15 years learning the mother tongue of her adoptive country. The book is a dedication to the joys and strife of mastering another language; how becoming immersed in a foreign culture and dialect not only shifted her mode of communication but also her way of looking at the world. In her native Romania, Mira worked as a radio producer and publicist. She was one of the first to recognise – and one of very few to interview – the immense talent of Herta Müller at a time when hardly anyone was interested in the future Nobel Prize winner. Taking a savvy, pensive and oftentimes uncanny approach to writing, Mira pens novels on subjects such as a doomed search for a stolen Picasso painting or a literature professor’s reconciliation with a troubled past. In Extra Extra no. 19, find her erotic short story – a letter of longing addressed to Calpurnia from Ovid.
