Some of these have been included in the volume Under Eastern Eyes: Cross-cultural Refractions (Timișoara: Marineasa, 2003). He has contributed with a chapter entitled Automobile Metempsychoses in the Land of Dracula to the volume Autopia: Cars and Culture, edited by Peter Wollen and Joe Kerr (London: Reaktion Books, 2002).
