George Topīrceanu
George Topīrceanu (March 20, 1886May 7, 1937) was a Romanian poet, short
story writer, and humourist.
His debut came in 1905, the year he published his first verses in Sunday papers
and minor magazines; in 1909, he managed to have poems featured in major
periodicals, such as Sămănătorul. He worked in handcopying, and in 1909 made his
mark by having his satirical Răspunsul micilor funcţionari ("A Reply from the
Minor Civil Servants") in Viaţa Romānească. In 1911 he moved to Iaşi, on Garabet
Ibrăileanu's invitation, and became chief editor at Viaţa Romānească. He later
wrote his well-received articles - Cum am devenit moldovean ("How I Became a
Moldavia Native") and Cum am devenit ieşean ("How I Became a Iaşi Native") which
trace his meanderings within Romania.
