Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to discuss the main directions in the Romanian prose of the 2000’s, with regard to its relation with the historical and social “reality”. An overview of the epos of the last decade and a half, the paper refers constantly to the most important creations as seen by their first reviews. Firstly, a presentation of the historical context in which such narratives are formed aims to explain the specific “manner” in which they answer “the world”: by discussing the constant tendency to “retrieve” the past or the propensity of recent prose to transform the real, we are addressing, ultimately, the common reflexes of fiction writers relating to their existential horizon. Consequently, the main conclusions to be drawn at the end of such a research concern not only the similarities shared by the worldviews of these contemporary prose writers, but also the frequent attempts of the said authors to avoid the real world by means of fiction writing.
