Vasile Ernu (born 1971) is a Soviet-born Romanian writer.
Born in Odessa, Soviet Union, Ernu studied philosophy at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iași, graduating in 1996, after which he earned a master's degree in philosophy at the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca in 1997.[1]
Ernu's debut book is Născut în URSS ("Born in the USSR"), a self-biographic work in which he recounts his experiences in the Soviet Union, in a mix of melancholia and irony.[2]
The book earned him the debut prize of the Writers' Union of Romania and the one of the România Literară magazine and it was translated in several languages, including: Russian, Italian, Spanish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish and Georgian.[3]
