  • Lucian Boz (Romanian pronunciation: [lut͡ʃiˈan ˈboz]; also rendered as Lucien Boz; November 9, 1908 – March 14, 2003) was a Romanian literary critic, essayist, novelist, poet and translator. Raised in Bucharest, he had a lawyer's training but never practiced, instead opting for a career in journalism and literary criticism. An active participant in the 1930s cultural scene, he theorized an empathetic and "enthusiastic" approach to literature, which was in tune with the avant-garde tendencies of his lifetime. After a stint editing the review Ulise in 1932–1933, he became a contributor to more major newspapers, including Adevărul, , and . Boz's Romanian career was cut short with the advent of a censorious authoritarian government in 1937. Moving to Paris, he settled into journalistic work there but was displaced by the German occupation, which saw him first join the French Resistance and then be interned at Drancy, where he was one of very few Jews to escape alive. Resuming his reporter's activity, and contributing to Le Monde, he divided his time between France and Romania from 1944 to 1947, but never returned to his native country after a Communist regime was established. After a few more years in France, Boz left for Australia in 1951. There, he was eventually hired by Air France to head its local office, and Boz's literary activity abated until his retirement in 1974. Afterwards, he republished some of his old work in photocopy and contributed to Romanian cultural activities in his adopted country. Never a declared opponent of the regime, his work was nonetheless unwelcome in Communist Romania, and had to wait until after the 1989 Revolution to regain critical favor. During the 1990s and until soon before his death, Boz contributed material to a Romanian magazine. In 2000, a short novel of his dealing with the war years saw publication. (en)
