To Piero's Paradise
Dante's Inferno and the narrative arc of Moroccan tagine
Frensham Little Pond, Surrey
Hi, I'm Florin.
I have a surname, but it’s a mouthful in English. Click on my name if you’re that curious.
My pieces start as narrative non-fiction. Occasionally, they veer into fiction. The world, it seems to me, is a big David Lynch movie, full of endearing, funny and weird characters. I try to capture their essence through my writing.
My most recent book is Apricots, Pears & Peaches – a historical fiction about a family’s way out of Nazi Germany and all forms of preservation.
I also run a website where I share stories about art, exhibitions and artists' lives. Check it out here.

Apricots, Pears & Peaches
This book is an experiment in preservation. Instead of formaldehyde or brine, we used fiction.
Moritz is aboard the Hindenburg’s last flight. He realised that he needs to preserve more than his beloved fruit. He needs to save his eleven siblings from Hitler’s murderous intentions.
Günter is a 9-year old boy trying to make sense of what is going on in Germany. We follow him in Berlin after Kristallnacht, on the Island of Man and on the day the Berlin Wall comes up.
