October at Eight is a collection of stories by Romanian writer Norman Manea, published in 1994. In these stories, Manea immerses us in a world marked by hatred and violence, where human bonds are fractured and reality defies logic. Through evocative and poetic prose, the author explores themes such as memory, identity, and the human condition in times of disorder and pain. The naive gaze of a child serves as a common thread to convey deep emotions and feelings, revealing the beauty and strength that can arise even in the most adverse contexts.
Norman Manea is a Romanian writer and author of short fiction, novels, and essays about the Holocaust, daily life in a communist state, and exile. He lives in the United States, where he is a Professor and writer in residence at Bard College.
