My Childhood at the Gate of Unrest evokes the writer's wartime memories of this much-disputed territory. From 1956 to 1962, Goma spent two years in a Romanian prison and five years in "obligatory residence" in a remote village as punishment for his student protests and literary activities. He nevertheless came to prominence at home in the Romanian "thaw" of the 1960s, becoming an influential novelist by the end of that decade. In the late 1970s Paul Goma was the courageous single spokesperson publicly advocating human rights in Romania. He was sent into exile in France in 1977 and lived and wrote in Paris until his death in March 2020 in the Covid pandemic.показать меньше
