Summary/Abstract: The novel addresses a lecturer who has the know-how of getting into the magic of speculative discourse. Following the postmodernist logic, the text invokes simultaneous readings and decodings. For a lecturer who has exercised his mind with the potential of lived and assumed thought, Marian Barbu's text is a unique one: the confession of a life beyond the speculative magic of abstract concepts, a deconstruction of an epistemology with the purpose of a better settlement in ontology, in its potential to be. It is a novel about death and life, about feeling and sensing and about the memory’s fight against forgetfulness.
