Summary/Abstract: Endowed with intelligence, observation and humor, Busuioc is the rare type of “urban” writer who prefers to use as a writing material the rural life. His prose rejects the soft Moldovan narrative, by being dynamic, cinematic, essayistic and with an ironic nerve. Literary critic and historian Ion Ciocanu – trying, in turn, to highlight the major contribution of Aureliu Busuioc to the evolution of the Romanian novel – even speaks of the Romanian phenomenon Aureliu Busuioc as he asserted himself fully through his much Romanian production, leaving behind the most faithful novelists of his generation. Aureliu Busuioc managed to break the simplistic tradition of socialist realism. Looking at things from this perspective, we can speak – without fear of error – of the essential contribution of Aureliu Busuioc not only to the evolution of the Bessarabian novel, but even to the development of this kind of writing in all Romanian literature.
