- Nina Cassian 50's, 60's, know for her socialist-realist parodies as well
- Herta Mueller (German, originally from Romania) must be known for many people, she left  
Romania in 1987 but she writes basically about the Ceausecu period
- Simona Popescu is part of the '80  generation, widelz published together with Mircea 
Cartarascu
- Felicia Mihali is a contemporary journalist, her novel Pays du Fromage was recently
launched in French

- Török Sophie, Kaffka Margit (early 20 c.)

écrivains the writings of the proletar writer Erzsi Ujvari. since a while these people
are addicted to Ujvari, and urge new and more translations.
