In the post-Revolution era, authors continued to take direct inspiration from Caragiale. In 2008, Ion Iovan published "Ultimele însemnări ale lui Mateiu Caragiale" ("Mateiu Caragiale's Final Records"), a mock-diary and speculative fiction work covering the final events in Caragiale's life. In addition to covering the elements of his biography, it invents a character by the name of Jean Mathieu, Caragiale's secret son. Caragiale's work was also treasured by Romanian-language writers in newly independent Moldova, formerly part of the Soviet Union. One of them, Anatol Moraru, wrote "Craii de modă nouă" ("A New Fashion of Rakes"), which is both a memoir and a tribute to "Craii...".
