MARIN SORESCU: IRONY, PARODY, HUMOR
MARIN SORESCU: IRONY, PARODY, HUMOR

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is a short analysis of one of the most important poem volumes written by Marin Sorescu. All of his six volumes La lilieci explore a traditional village, people who live there and their facts. Bulzeşti is the name of this special place where a special connection between villagers and God is possible. Sunday is a special day in this village because people go to church to pray to God and they also go to cemetery to confess to their dead relatives. The nicknames the author uses are also special, desiganting a specific quality for people who bear them. In other words, behind a nickname it is hidden a human defect: laziness, stupidity, pride or anything else. Therefore, irony is the key of all his poety, as Marin Sorescu himself recognised. His irony has made it possible to publish freely and frequently, this being the reason why he has remained one of the most important neomodernist writers.
