BLIND MAN'S LIGHT: A Summer that never sets

By Radu Sergiu Ruba

About the book Borges himself could not have said it more beautifully: "There is no paradise possible in the absence of light." Similarly, there is no endeavor more delicate and more exciting than retracing one's own footsteps. Radu Sergiu Ruba becomes involved in this task by relying on the retina of memory more than on the memory of the retina. His prose blazes paths towards a world populated by characters onto which time has taken its toll as it wished. Ruba extracts memories out of the mud of the past, washes them in the sunlight of a fall day and proceeds to lay them out on velvet, in front of our eyes, like shards of precious stones.The evocative and confessional power of Blind Man's Light makes it a passport to a realm and people of a different century. Radu Sergiu Ruba writes about life's charades, its farces, its decomposition and re-composition. His writings occupy the confluence between history, geography, and biography. One reads these texts with the emotion of a student who, as in times of old, waits for the sun to capture in its rays the ink drop suspended at the end of the pen. One feels the desire to caress the pages and to thank the one who pours honey on us. All this because one feels that he just finished sharing something beautiful and heartbreaking.
