Summary/Abstract: The imaginary universe of Convoiul Mieilor novel, written by Lucia Dărămuș, situates itself in an interference space, populated by imaginary beings, where every playful gesture is part of a poetics in the autistic syndrome area. Hence the consistency of the imagined world has its foundation in the biographical dimension of the author. Thus the world of the fabulous becomes a homogeneous overlap placed over a sick reality, the imaginary narrative perfectly imitating the defining fluctuations of autistic sensitivity. Therefore the autistic area in the author's biography acquires the terrifying image of the Holocaust, that of the furnaces that torment the body, just as autism consumes identity. In these dramatic circumstances, the compensatory immigration takes place through the portals specific to fantasy literature, but also through the positioning of the main character, Hannya - Alter Ego of the author, in the category of childhood prone to magical areas.
