In the following three weeks, he will be working in the writer’s room in the Zsolnay Cultural Quarter. According to his plans, he is going to finish the works in his volume of novellas to be published in October. As claimed by him, the most interesting part of his work is the fact that certain texts are able to live their own lives: he might want to change only a few sentences, remove or add something but then something kicks off and sometimes a few-pages-long novella doubles in length.
Cupsa, who was born in Craiova, grew up in Timișoara and is currently living in Bucharest. In terms of his profession, he is a psychiartist who has spent fifteen years dealing with drug and alcohol addicts as well as deviants. This has been quite hard for him. It might be no accident that even though he has not yet written about this topic and found another "escape route" in his prose, he aims to include his experiences as a psychiatrist in his work.
The work of the 42-year-old Cupsa was awarded with various international prizes. He is also an active screenwriter, his latest work is a film presenting Danube stories.
