Author Bruce Benderson will discuss his book The Romanian: Story of an Obsession, for which he won the Prix de Flore in 2004. In his memoir, Benderson recounts the experience of meeting a homeless Romanian in Manhattan’s gay community and following him to Bucharest, where homosexuality was illegal. The author will also discuss his winning of the Prix de Flore which placed his book in a new Latin/Catholic context, as well as the differences between its French and Anglo-Saxon receptions.
