 Despite their relationship having declined from friendship to hatred, Bogdan-Pitești's style and his mundane interests are occasionally seen as sources of inspiration for Caragiale's only novel, "Craii de Curtea-Veche" (completed in 1928).Some have noted that Bogdan-Pitești has a lot in common with at least one of the three protagonists.He and his wife were both characters in Ion Vinea's novels "Venin de mai" ("May Venom") and "Lunatecii" ("The Lunatics")—Alexandru as Adam Gună, Domnica as wife Iada Gună.
