Farewell, My Transylvania! acknowledges Transylvania's troubled history but combines photography and text to dispel both stereotypes and Dracula myths. Pictures and prose hint at the innate resilience and humor of the Transylvanian people. The absurdities of day-to-day life are not spared under Veres' sharp and penetrating wit and writing style.

"In May 2000 I went back to my homeland in Transylvania, Romania. From experience I knew that the American people were eager to hear about Dracula, Ceausescu, and other sad stories that my people are famous for. I wanted to move beyond the stereotype of my homeland as a drab diorama of powerless victims."
