Once the Paris of the East, Bucharest in 1989 is a world of danger, repression and corruption, but also of intensity and ravaged beauty. As Ceausescus demolition squads race to destroy the old city and replace it with a sinister Stalinist Legoland, its inhabitants live out communisms dying days not knowing how or where things will end. In The Last Hundred Days a young English student arrives in Bucharest to take up a job he never applied for and whose duties are never made clear. He finds dissidents, party apparatchiks, black-marketeers, diplomats, spies and ordinary Romanians, all watching each other as Europes most paranoid regime plays out its bloody endgame.

Academic work analyzing French literature of the fin de siècle, focusing on symbolism and decadence.
