Well, I just think that most well-known Romanians are nonfiction writers. I was surprised to find out (from Kotkin) that Iorga's work is famous and one of the must-reads for a lot of people that do Eurasian politics and/or study Byzantines/Ottomans.
Also, to be completely fair, Romanian translated into English sounds like absolute garbage. Like there are so many Romanian works that would probably work best translated in a rough style that sounds similar to McCarthy's, but instead they're done in this outrageous purple prose straight out of the Victorian era, lol.
So, yeah. We can blame our own brainlets for being absolute shit tier translators that make Romanian lit read like some antiquated crap you find posted in a post your writing thread.
