Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to highlight how Cezar Paul-Bădescu treats the communist period through a mix of autobiography and fiction. The author tries to overturn literary barriers and demystify both literature and himself, particularly through an anti-literary discours. The uniqueness of his work lies in its narrative perspective, fragmentary style, deconstruction, self-irony and the author`s choice to turn his character into an anti-hero. Using memory and self-analysis, Cezar Paul-Bădescu tries to understand and reconcile with himself, seeking the therapeutic effect of memory.
