“What is the new American novel? The story of an immigrant, of course. Train to Trieste is a spirited, passionate, funny look at the world in the time of the new millennium, and Domnica Radulescu is a remarkable writer enriching American letters with her Romanian perspective. We are lucky to call her ours.”
      —Sandra Cisneros

“I’ve had multitudinous gasps of delight reading Train to Trieste, which I read breathlessly and quickly; it’s definitely a page turner.”
      —Andrei Codrescu
