Reportedly, the paper was graded a ten out of ten, without further commentary from its recipient. According to his own testimony, he made his coming out at around age sixteen, when he wrote about his homosexuality in a test paper which he then handed to his supervising teacher. Having discovered his sexual inclination early in life, Negoiţescu claimed to have had his first sexual experiences while still a young boy. Negoiţescu took his Baccalaureate in 1940, and subsequently enlisted at the Cluj University's Letters and Philosophy Department, where he studied under Blaga. Reputedly, Blaga saw his adolescent disciple as a genius and encouraged him to seek a career in literature. It was as a high school student that he first met poet and thinker Lucian Blaga. At age sixteen, Negoiţescu also published his first of several reviews in the student magazine Pâlcul, analyzing the Symbolist poetry of Mateiu Caragiale. The future author studied at the Angelescu High School in his native city, and debuted in 1937, when he had lyric poetry fragments published in the local newspaper Naţiunea Română.
In contrast, Negoiţescu's father came from outside Transylvania, being born to parents from the Romanian Old Kingdom. His maternal grandfather, a member of the Romanian Orthodox clergy in Transylvania, had taken part in the Memorandum movement under Austro-Hungarian rule. Born in Cluj, Negoiţescu was the son of Ioan, a career officer in the Romanian Land Forces, and his wife Lucreţia née Cotuţiu.
