以下、ルーマニアの方とエリアーデ『ムントゥリャサ通りで』について話したときの自分の発言の再現(一部)。平易な英語でも、最近は毎週文芸について書くか話すかはするようにしている。I feel a fear of reading another work of his, other than Pe strada Mântuleasa. Many of my friends have said that work is his best. While I know other works should be excellent as well, I want that experience to be kept as a singular, eternal one, in lieu of being replaced by an impression of other works. It is so beautiful that I want it to be like an object fixed in an amber.
