Summary/Abstract: The need for systematization in terms of post-war Romanian exile, felt by Romanian researchers of the phenomenon, produced, after 1989, some harmful generalizations. The post-war Romanian exile, especially the literary one, embodied by writers, is not a monolithic block. This is why I believe that in the coming period, the study of particu-larities, of what escapes the generally accepted schemes of exile, of what cannot be la-belled, should be privileged. In what follows, I will try to show precisely the power of reverberation of the literary word, through a quick entry into the work of Virgil Tăna-se/Tanase, a special figure of the Romanian exile. In a first stage, my contribution will highlight the writer's relationship with the Romanian exile, while the rest of the study will be devoted to an analysis of the novel Zoia, his masterpiece, in which the focus will be on the themes of exile and history.
