Overview

Inscribed in the rich fantastical tradition of Romanian literature while communing with other traditions, this book uses fantasy to denounce, in a covert manner, the grotesqueness of existence within a totalitarian state. The four stories included belong as much to fantastical literature as they do to testimony writing, the narrative combining as it does the confessional tone of a realistic journal with incursions from a visionary imagination. Rediscovered in 1977 after having been rejected by Romanian censorship due to its antisocial tendencies, this was the first book of short stories written by prestigious Romanian author Ana Blandiana.

Inscrito en la nutrida tradición fantástica de la literatura de Romanía a la vez que dialoga con otras tradiciones, este libro se sirve de lo fantástico para denunciar, de manera encubierta, la dimensión grotesca de la existencia en un estado totalitario. Los cuatro relatos incluidos pertenecen tanto a la literatura fantástica como a la literatura de testimonio, pues la narrativa combina el tono confesional de un diario realista con las incursiones de una imaginación visionaria. Aparecido en 1977 después de ser rechazado por la censura rumana debido a sus tendencias antisociales, éste fue el primer libro de relatos de la prestigiosa autora rumana Ana Blandiana.
