Horia Lovinescu

Died in 1983

Horia Lovinescu was born on 28 August 1917 in Fălticeni, nephew of the critic Eugen Lovinescu and brother of the writer Vasile Lovinescu. He studied literature and philosophy in Bucharest and defended a thesis on Rimbaud. He began in the theatre under the communist regime with plays conforming to socialist realism, which, according to Alin Ștefănuț, drew him out of obscurity, before writing more personal dramas. He died in Bucharest on 16 September 1983.
