Carmen-Francesca Banciu (born 1955 in Lipova, Romania) is an award-winning Romanian novelist and lecturer.
Biography
Banciu was born in 1955 in Lipova, Romania. The daughter of a high-ranking communist party and government official, Banciu studied church painting and foreign trade at schools in Bucharest.
In 1985, she won the International Short Story Prize of the city of Arnsberg, Germany, an achievement which prompted a publication ban in Romania. In 1990, after the fall of the communist government in Romania, Banciu moved to Berlin, and since 1996, she has not only written in Romanian, but also in German. In addition to writing, she works as a freelance editor and commentator for various news media and regularly teaches seminars on creative writing.
In 2005, Banciu was writer-in-residence at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey in 2005.[1]
