Contribuția lui Aureliu Busuioc la evoluția romanului românesc

Abstract

Identical in the interwar period, the historical destiny of Bessarabia and Romania was naturally reflected in their spiritual life, an assertion that can be illustrated even by the full consonance of the creations in the field of culture and literature. Thus, in the last hundred years, the picture of literature from the East of the Prut has many points of convergence with the literature belonging to the Country, which requires that one should treat them as a whole. Because it is, in fact, a single literature, created in the same language and belonging, in fact, to the same people, separated - temporarily and conjuncturally - by a forced border. In the postwar period, especially, the drama of Romanian writers, on both sides of the Prut, consisted in the inability to express oneself freely, to tell the truth, and to protest, in writing, against abuses and injustices of all kinds. Sometimes, to deceive the vigilance of censorship, some writers have resorted to parables or Aesop's discourse. This is the case of some of the prosaic creations of the Bessarabian Aureliu Busuioc, who began, as a novelist, in the seventh decade of the last century, with an anti-system writing, ignoring the realist-socialist formula and proposing a new literary paradigm. Resuming the traditions of interwar modernist literature, Aureliu Busuioc was, in Soviet Moldova, among the first to rehabilitate aesthetics, entering the field of modern literature and inaugurating a new beginning in the Romanian novel. Later, through the other successful novels, Aureliu Busuioc, adopting a playful and ironic formula, entered the empty field of the intellectual novel, anticipating postmodernist creations. This is what we intend to argue in this article.
