Summary/Abstract: Alex Goldiș’s 2023 book, ZOOM IN/ ZOOM OUT: Lecturi de critică și literatură contemporană (Readings of contemporary criticism and literature), is a comprehensive and enduring exploration of some of the most influential texts regarding literature and criticism that marked the Romanian literary scene. The book has a tripartite structure, the first part dedicated to Romanian literary fiction and the others to Romanian criticism and international theory respectively. To be more specific, the book represents a collection of reviews and chronicles that span over more than a decade of academic writing. Consequently, the volume is not meant to portray a Romanian canon or a recent literary history, but a more nomadic network of the dynamics concerning contemporary literature and criticism.
