Intimacy is the only space in which thetruth can be articulated, in which you can still be identical with yourself, contemporarywith what you are in essence. The novel is also a journey in the history of erotic imaginary;it is a reinvention of the impediment and a rediscovery of erotic tension and intensity. Thecharacters are projections of mythological consciousness, from the perspective of whichart is always in full synchrony with life. Cornul inorogului (The Unicorn’s Horn) is a novelabout eros, death, literature and the electrifying connections between them.
