Conventional thinking? Not here

I'm Silvia Dumitru, founder of Spellwand, a Humanitas-published author and an explorer of the unspoken. In this space, my essays go deep, cutting through surface-level chatter. They challenge norms, ignite conversations, and explore what we often feel but seldom articulate.

"Noaptea nu uită" in the Romanian Contemporary Writers Collection

“Debuting with Humanitas, 'Noaptea nu uită' marks my entrance into the national literary scene, captivating readers across Romania with a rock'n'roll perspective on the aspects of life we all touch, feel and live, yet rarely talk about."

"A tale of escape and awakening. Tina's journey through a sticky labyrinth of childhood escapades, first erotic experiences, and the longing for affection is compelling. Caught between a brutish mother and a subdued father, she seeks an escape from the provincial life of Crângași to a world of sophistication. Tina's struggle against the myth that love equals suffering and her journey to own her body and identity culminate in an unconventional happy ending – a testament to the redemptive power of suffering.”
