Ileana Orlich captures the shifting and subtle identities and continuities of Romania's literary tradition by concentrating on unfamiliar aesthetic and cultural landscapes, mythic archetypes, and modernist techniques. Examining a distinct and unusual range of authors and texts, Orlich charts the crosscurrents of the century's representative fiction, attesting to the importance of a critical vision of Romanian literature and a commitment to its dynamic interactions with European models.
