Summary:

"Solomon's memoir provides an account of his friendship with Paul Celan, offering valuable information about the poet's youth, the importance of the Bucharest period in Celan's evolution as a poet, insight into the texts he wrote in Romanian, and the impact of the unfounded plagiarism scandal.
