Alexandra Ares works with the romance style, a translucent fiction through which one can read the American experience… If the horizon of expectations of old Madame Bovary was deserted and without flesh and bones contours, for (AA) the desert is really empty and pragmatic, America –  bonfire of vanities and crazy arts… Are you ready to have a face-off with it, or do you sink in depression?

The string of American adventures that the Romanian Alexandra Ares is devouring in her book, DREAM JUNKIES, has something of the European interwar flavor and mystery described by the Anglo-saxon writers of that era - Ezra Pound, Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway or Getrude Stein – with the air of transmitting la live report about the boredom of being wealthy, of loving always unhappy, of living among artists as to better learn sadness. Just that this time, the roles have reversed: an Eastern European writer discovers America…. She is a sensitive, romantic and sometimes cynical writer, but surely courageous, who is facing out and confronting the “American Dream” from the perspective of the Eastern European liberated from the claws of communism, and periodically haunted from its ideological ghosts.
