Ana Cioclov Literature

Ana Cioclov short stories are devoted to the life of modern women. The literary construction pertains to post-modern style with parallel developments in both real and imaginary worlds, with vivid descriptions, suspense, glamour or hard life, a canvas for a message which remains, always on the positive side of women intimate feelings and thinking. The stories are not place-or ethnic-related. However, a connoisseur can easily recognise the flavour of Paris, New-York, and Vienna, Rhine or Loire valleys, tropical milieus like Miami or other places where she lived. Ana Cioclov literature addresses to a wide range of contemporary readers, which look for a carefully distilled literature, at the antipode of the mainstream mass product literature. The multitudes of female characters, every story introducing a unique one, irrespective of their appearance, are strong in their approach to life, as it appears in the flash-circumstances of the narration. By exploring the women universe, in the sub-context of female-male existential equation, subtle feelings emerge or are ready to outburst but, the narration parentheses are never closed, letting imagination to exercise on says and non-says.
