The History Of Panda Bears

Playwright,poet and journalist from Romania.And is now settled in Paris as journalist at Radio Frace Internationale.His recent writings mainly in  french language made him a well-known writer.
He studied History and Philosophy in the university of Bucharest before starting to write for the theatre in 1977.
Between 1977 - 1987 he wrote some 20 plays which all of them were banned by romanian censors.
I become familiar with Visniec by recommendation of a friend.The small book entitled " L'histoire des ours panda racontee par un saxophoniste qui a une petite amie a francfort " : "The history of panda bears told by a saxophonist who has a girlfriend in Frankfurt ".
The book is a comedy,as the site "demendez le programme" described " a dream nurtured by a sensitivity all on  edge. A trip funny ,magical and shifted to the heart of the intimate,away from the heaviness of the material world and the constraints of reality."
I found the persian translation impressive ,as the text is rather complicated with plenty of language technics.This book is translated to farsi by Tinoush Nazmjou.
