Following proposal of Nicolae Tzone, the director of Vinea Editorial house from Bucharest, I interviewed one of the most outstanding Romanian critics from Basarabia Gheorghe Grigurcu. The interview took place at „Onisifor Ghibu” library in Chisinau. The issues discussed were literary critics and poetry, relations between poetry and reality, literature and politics, Romanian literature of Basarabia, aphorisms etc. We also touched upon the personality of the interviewee and its two sides - of critic and of poet.
