BOOKSHELF: FORMER CULTURE MINISTER OF MOLDOVA RECOMMENDS DETECTIVE NOVEL AND CULTURE REPORT

Composer Ghenadie Ciobanu names two publications that he considers to be “must-reads” for art managers

 

Umberto Eco “Numero Zero”

Numero Zero” is a new historical detective novel about the media and journalists of the 1990s that has already become a classic of contemporary literature. The plot: a slice of contemporary society where many of its foundations crumble, including creditworthiness, which can be bought but also destroyed. Eco depicts a world that has become the victim of corruption, instability and money laundering. Here everyone “weasels their way out on their own” and constantly looking for compromises.
