Marin Preda and the political novel. Attempt to update

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to emphasize how Marin Preda’s novels are related to the political novel. In this regard, we try to uncover, through some discourses, how criticism and literary history viewed this aspect regarding the possibility of approaching truth and ideas within the communist regime. Then, we try to check how in some respects Preda’s novels can be of interest beyond the period of their publication. Analysing other examples, we try to show how there still is a preoccupation with the writer’s biography that mediates the relationship with his works. The conclusions are that the reception of Preda’s literature depends on the background discourse and that both the latter and the literature itself contain a potential that contributes to the understanding of the world after 1989.
