| description | This article explores the dynamics between Romanian genre fiction and
mainstream fiction in the postcommunist period, trying to negotiate the
instrumentalizations of narrative devices usually found in popular literature (be it fantasy, crime, or mystery fiction) in a novel that transcends normative genre boundaries. Thus, the text traces a specific way in which some Romanian writers (in this case Florin Chirculescu) have navigated the strenuous path brought by
capitalism in the local literary scene. |
