Cu Therese Anne Fowler despre Zelda Fitzgerald ( Talking with Therese Anne Fowler about Zelda Fitzgerald ), an interview with Therese Anne Fowler, published in the România literară the literary magazine of the Romanian Writers Union (Uniunea Scriitorilor Români), No. 14, April 3 rd, 2015, year XLVII, p. 22. ISSN A SHORT BIO Dr Anca Peiu is an Associate Professor of the Department of English, as well as of the Center of American Cultural Studies, of the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Bucharest, Romania. She teaches American Literature of the 19 th century and has specialized in Faulkner Studies. Anca Peiu has recently translated William Faulkner s Uncollected Stories into Romanian, in two volumes, for the RAO International Publishing Company. Dr. Peiu has recently completed an extensive research of Representations of the South in William Faulkner s Uncollected Stories at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA where she benefited from a senior Fulbright scholarship. Anca Peiu has also recently accomplished an updated translation into Romanian of Intruder in the Dust William Faulkner s 1948 extremely intricate detective novel, raising contemporary dilemmas upon the ancient inter-racial tension, set in the troubled American Old South. Her new Romanian version of Faulkner s book written just before he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is published by the same RAO International Publishing Company, like her above mentioned two volumes of literary translations. All these volumes are preceded by sound introductory studies, supported by plenty of reference to recent documentation, signed also by Anca Peiu. They belong to a special critical edition series, issued by RAO, known as the William Faulkner Library series entirely provided with notes and chronology by Anca Peiu. Early in the spring of 2015, the American writer Therese Anne Fowler s best-selling 2013 book: Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, was launched in the Romanian bookstores. Its Romanian version was accomplished by Anca Peiu, who also provided the book with thoroughly documented notes. The book, already a success on the Romanian bookmarket, as well, is published in the most fashionable contemporary literature series Denisa s Shelf ( Raftul Denisei ) of the Humanitas Fiction Publishing House in Bucharest, Romania. Dr. Peiu has guided numerous graduation papers to generations of students ever since January 1991, when her academic career started at the University of Bucharest, Romania.
