Mircea Nedelciu [SEP] cause of death
Mircea Nedelciu's life witnessed his publicized struggle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, which shaped the themes in his unfinished novel, "Zodia Scafandrului" ("Sign of the Deep-sea Diver"). Although the rhythm of his activity slowed under the pressures of infirmity and major surgery in French clinics, Nedelciu continued his involvement with the literary scene, as both cultural promoter and polemicist, until shortly before his death. His critical posterity is sharply divided on issues surrounding the importance of his work, between those who primarily view him
(2008). Several other of his stories saw print in stages after his death (including "Uriaşa şi ciudata pasăre a viselor noastre", published by "Observator Cultural" in July 2008).
In addition to Mircea Mihăieş, who recounts having learned the techniques of novelistic writing from his friend, a new generation of authors, most of whom debuted in the 1990s, assimilated influences from the writings of Mircea Nedelciu. Among them are Dan Lungu, Sorin Stoica, Lucian Dan Teodorovici, Andrei Bodiu and Călin Torsan
