Beschreibung

Iulian Ciocan: Die Königin der Kelche (The Queen of Cups) Translated by Julia Richter | Published by Noack & Block, 2025

Following the satirical and apocalyptic vein of his previous works, Iulian Ciocan presents a dark, social comedy set in modern-day Chisinau. The narrative centers on a world where corruption, greed, and the supernatural collide. When a mysterious "Queen of Cups" tarot card begins to influence the destinies of disparate characters—from petty bureaucrats to the city’s elite—the thin veneer of Moldovan social order begins to unravel.

Iulian Ciocan is a master of dissecting the post-Soviet transition, focusing on the "moral vacuum" and the obsession with quick wealth.

Magic Realism: The book blends gritty, everyday realism with mystical elements, using tarot and destiny as metaphors for a society looking for answers in all the wrong places.

The translator Julia Richter is a renowned expert in Romanian and Moldovan literature, brings Iulian Ciocan’s sharp, rhythmic prose into German with precision and wit.
