Florica Bud

Florica Bud was born on March 21, 1957, in Ulmeni, Maramures County. She is a member of the Writers Union of Romania since 1998. She debuted in 1993, with the volume of short stories: Love, I’m a non-flying object, Gutinul Publishing House, 1993. The author really falls in literature with her novel The man who murdered my soul on a Thursday, Dacia Publishing House, 2005, as prefaced by Horia Garbea. In Mariatereza is me, Rao Publishing House, 2007, the novelist keeps the same architecture that gives a distinct note of its volumes. Later, according to the critic Alex Stefanescu, determined to seduce readers permanently she separates the amalgam of genres from previous books by creating a collection of pamphlets in We fix up reputation and bottles, Limes Publishing House, 2009. Then she approaches the poetic genre in I am loosing the monopoly of love and Crucified between brackets, both published by Ramuri Publishing House in 2010. Florica Bud is a permanent presence into the contemporary magazines, being present in the anthology Bookataria of texts and images.
